Ludwig at the top: SPÖ dominates survey for the Vienna election 2025!
The upcoming local council and state elections in Vienna, which take place on April 27, 2025, throw their shadows ahead. Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) shows a current survey by the Lazarsfeld Society for OE24, which was carried out between April 17 and 20 April 2025. According to the survey, Ludwig receives 38 % of the votes, which positions him about the minor value of his party, which is 37 %.
his strongest challenger, Dominik Nepp from the FPÖ, comes to 24 %, which is a point above the value of his party (23 %). Karl Mahrer, the chairman of the ÖVP, only creates 7 % and stays far behind the value of his party, which is located in 11 %. Green boss Judith Pühringer receives 6 %, while the reigning Vice Mayor Bettina Emmerling only reaches 1 %.
Ludwig exceeds his party
Ludwig's performance is particularly noteworthy compared to his party. In a hypothetical direct election, Ludwig could even achieve 57 % for today, ATV and Puls24. This exceeds both its current survey values and that of his party, which is 39 %.
However,compared to previous surveys, Ludwig experienced a decline. In February 2023, it was 55 %of its value, and 51 %in October 2024. Dominik Nepp has also made progress. His approval values of 15 % in October 2023 and 16 % in February 2024 increased to 18 %, which marks him as the strongest opposition politician.
fight for places three and four
The race for the Plätz three and four becomes particularly exciting from the perspective of surveys. A three -way battle between the ÖVP, the Greens and the NEOS is currently emerging. According to the The press is clearly ahead with 38.6 %, but below the result of 41.6 % Election 2020. The FPÖ has stabilized and comes to 21.8 %on average, which is a tripling compared to the last election.
The Greens come to 12.3 %, which means a decrease of 2.5 points since 2020. The ÖVP is faced with an average of 11.1 %, which is almost a halving of the proportion of voices compared to the last election. The NEOs reach 9.2 % and thus have a slight increase in almost two points compared to the last choice. The KPÖ has a low chance of moving into the state parliament with 3.8 %.
election forecasts and challenges
The persistent challenges for the ÖVP could also be worsened by an ongoing charges against Karl Mahrer and his wife. The pandemic and its consequences, along with the acceptance of parties, play a crucial role in voting. The Situation around Heinz-Christian Strache, who could exceed the five percent hurdle at five percent, but his team only achieves two percent, remains remarkable because his party is not recorded in the current APA election trend.
The tension before the elections is high and it remains to be seen how the voters will decide on April 27th. Whether Ludwig can keep his strong position or whether the opposition gains weight is a central topic of the upcoming election campaign phase.
