Federal votes: no to highway extension gaining ground, according to two new polls

Almost no clear results emerge from the latest polls, published Wednesday, for the four objects of the federal vote on November 24. The extension of motorways would be narrowly refused and the uniform financing of health benefits (EFAS) rather accepted.

Concerning lease law, termination for personal reasons appears to be the only one of the four subjects to leave no doubt. It would be clearly rejected, according to the two polls carried out for 20 minutes/Tamedia and the SSR. As for subletting, the two surveys contradict each other, but the tendency is rather towards rejection in both.

The no is getting stronger on the highways

The two surveys also do not arrive at the same result for the extension of the highways. Narrowly adopted, by 49% against 48% in one, it would be rejected, by 51% against 47%, in the other. Compared to the first polls last month, the trend is clear: fewer yes and more no.

For EFAS, the two surveys point in the same direction. With a narrow green light in one (46% yes against 44% no), and a clear yes in the other (54%-37%).

The 20 minutes/Tamedia survey was carried out at the end of last week by the LeeWas institute among nearly 12,000 people, with a margin of error of +/- 1.6 percentage points. That of the SSR is due to the gfs.bern institute. More than 10,000 citizens were surveyed between October 28 and November 1, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 points.
