Opinion polling for the 2017 Austrian legislative election

Polls from this time period and specifically from Research Affairs are involved in Kurz corruption probe, so the accuracy of polls can not be verified.

In the run up to the 2017 Austrian legislative election, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Austria. Results of such polls are displayed in this article.

The date range for these opinion polls are from the previous legislative election, held on 29 September 2013, until the legislative election on 15 October 2017.

Graphical summary

Poll results

Poll results are listed in the tables below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If that date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then all applicable figures are shaded. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures.
