The main opposition Republican People's Party gets 19.6 percent of the votes and its support among the youth is 19.9 percent, according to the survey.
In terms of alliances, the People's Alliance of the AKP and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) gets a total of 36.4 percent of the votes while the CHP and the İYİ (Good) Party's Nation's Alliance has a voting share of 30.5 percent.
The total percentage of the undecided and protesting voters and those who didn't answer the question was 19.5. The participation rate in the 2018 election was 86 percent.
