Overview
The Croatian tracker compiles the limited published nationwide support series available for parliamentary parties and alliances. It keeps source labels and dates explicit because coalition composition can change and the national table does not represent every electoral constituency.
Electoral system context
Most representatives are elected proportionally in territorial districts, alongside separate arrangements for voters abroad and national minorities. District magnitudes, list thresholds and geographic support affect representation, so a national voting-intention figure cannot be converted directly into seats.
Party and bloc rationale
The local balance groups SDP-led, Možemo, Workers' Front, Centre, IDS and HSS entries against HDZ-led, Homeland Movement, DOMiNO, Most and related right lists. Liberal, pensioner and other lists remain outside. This is country-specific navigation, not an official classification.
Polling limitations
The compiled table dates every poll by publication, not by fieldwork. The tracker preserves that recorded basis in chart positions, recency weights, detail drawers and downloads. For example, the Ipsos report published on 22 September 2026 describes fieldwork conducted from 1 to 17 September; the two dates measure different events. The archive does not infer unreported fieldwork dates from a publication date.
The full left/right balance is unavailable when a required constituent is unreported. Current rows omit Workers' Front (RF); those missing figures remain unknown rather than zero, and the grouping is not silently reduced to manufacture a total.
Pollsters may report parties, coalitions or named leaders on different bases, and a small national series can make apparent movement volatile. Diaspora and minority contests are outside ordinary national party polling, while missing rows and changing alliance keys are not interpolated.
Bloc summaries use complete paired polls within 45 days of the latest archive record, weighted by recency and sample size. Both sides use the same eligible polls. The tracker and map show the number of complete polls and their supporting date, which can precede the latest archive record; missing parties are not assigned zero. The comparison’s latest-poll balance is a separate individual observation.
