Hart Voor Den Haag Leads New Ipsos Poll as VVD Slides

PVV fields only three candidates, raising questions about seat allocation if it outperforms its list size.

Overview

  • The Ipsos poll commissioned by The Hague shows Hart voor Den Haag on 12 of 45 seats, with D66 and GroenLinksPvdA each at 8.
  • VVD is projected to drop from 7 to 3 seats, while DENK rises to 4, PVV to 3, and Volt is set to enter the council with 1 seat.
  • PVV’s Hague branch is running with only three candidates; an expert explains that any extra seats would be redistributed as remainder seats and vacancies later could leave a seat empty.
  • Ipsos surveyed nearly 1,500 residents between January 12 and 25 and stresses the results are a snapshot, with a follow-up poll planned for early March ahead of the March 18 election.
  • Voters cite safety, crime and public order, housing, and livability as the most important issues shaping their choices.
