If a general election were held, only four political groups would win seats in Moldova's parliament, a new poll suggests.

The survey also indicates that while most citizens support European integration, they are against joining NATO and a union with neighbouring Romania.

The pro-Western Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) would get 25.8% of the vote, with the pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc receiving 19.7%. Two other parties would pass the 6% threshold needed to enter parliament: the "Alternativa" Bloc with 8.1% and Our Party with 6.6%. No other parties would win enough votes to enter.

Nearly 20% of those surveyed did not know who they would vote for.

A majority of Moldovans—57.1%—support joining the European Union, but 36.2% are against it. On relations with Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union, opinions are more divided, though a slight majority (49.5%) are opposed to closer ties.

Regarding a union with Romania, 31% were in favour, with 61.5% against. A similar majority (59.3%) also rejects joining NATO.

When asked about the country's development path, 33.1% believe their future lies exclusively with the EU, 8.6% see it with the Eurasian Union, and 19.3% opt for an independent course. However, 36.8% would prefer a balanced policy—co-operating with both the EU and Russia without joining either bloc.

The poll was conducted by iData in August, based on face-to-face interviews with 1,071 people, and has a margin of error of ±2.9%.
