The most recent survey conducted by the Turkish research company ORC outlined the contemporary political landscape of Turkey by asking people varying questions, ranging from the presidential system to the government's counterterror measures. The research was conducted by interviewing 2,450 people residing in 35 cities. According to the findings, 61 percent of the interviewees are in support of the presidential system, a subject of heated debate among political parties in the last several years.

Asking interviewees which party they would support if there were to be elections in a day, the survey revealed that 52.8 percent of the interviewees would support the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), while 23.4 percent said they would support the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP). Moreover, showing an increase in support, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) received 15 percent in support, while the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which is accused of being a PKK affiliate, received only 7 percent in support. When asked whether they perceived a need for change in party chairmanship, the stark contrast between the answers of the MHP and CHP stood out. According to the results, 88.1 percent of MHP supporters stated that a change was not needed, while 63 percent of CHP supporters said that the current CHP chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu should be replaced with someone else. Regarding the question whether they trust President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, 72 percent of the interviewees responded positively.

On the issue of counterterror operations, 82.6 percent of the interviewees expressed their support for the government's counterterror operations against the PKK, Daesh and the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ).
