Is Erdogan loosing the elections ? :

Erdogan's rival boosted by withdrawal, poll lead ahead of Turkey vote​

The man challenging Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey's presidential elections this weekend received a boost on Thursday when a small party candidate abruptly withdrew and a closely-watched poll gave him a more than five percentage point advantage.

The withdrawal by Muharrem Ince, one of four contesting Sunday's presidential vote, could reshape the last days of campaigning in what is seen as Erdogan's biggest test in his two-decade reign.

The survey by pollster Konda put support for Erdogan on 43.7% and Kilicdaroglu on 49.3%, leaving him short of the majority needed to win in the first round and suggesting the election would go to a run-off between the two men on May 28.

The survey was carried out May 6-7, before Ince's announcement. "The possibility of Kemal Kilicdaroglu winning has increased with Ince's withdrawal. I would not be surprised if he got 51%," said Bekir Agirdir, manager of Konda, speaking on news website T24 after the announcement.

[That Guy]

These polls don't matter much. Only the election results will tell the truth.

Conservative voters (many of whom support Erdogan) tend to be quiet voters who don't really get too politically involved other than casting a vote, or attending a rally once In a while.

There's still a good chance Erdogan wins, but it's gonna be a close call no matter who wins.

Still first time he is so behind. After 20 years that is a big change.

It wasn't Joe Biden who repeatedly remove the central bank governor from office and tried to apply the world's most ridiculous economic theory.

And this is the reason Turkish voters are changing their mind?

And this is the reason Turkish voters are changing their mind?

There was already a small vote difference. People change their voting preferences according to their economic situation. Erdogan ruined the economy, of course their votes would drop.

Right now it is a close call , with 49% something to Erdogan. Seems it should go to a second round.

But i don't see how the opposition can win in the second round , they would need almost all the votes of the other candidates to pass to them.
