The PS takes first place in voting intentions at the federal level in Brxuelles, ahead of the PTB, which at 20.9%, reached a historic score, according to the Grand Baromètre Ipsos – Le Soir – RTL. The MR remains first in Wallonia.
Nearly six months after the June 9 elections, the Brussels political landscape bows a little left. The PS is progressing from 18.6% to 23.1% in voting intentions for the federal election, while the PTB increases from 16.7% to 20.9%. THE socialists thus regain leadership in the capital and the PTB records a historical result.
The PTB, which recorded 16.7% of the vote in the June federal election in the capital, rose to 20.9%, a historic score, according to Ipsos.
Eco picks up some colors, gaining 2.2%, to reach 13.5%, while the MR experienced an opposite movement and fell by 2.4%, to stand at 20.7%. Next The Committedwhich fell from 2.2% to 7.3%, and Challengewhich lost 0.9% with 5.7%, writes Le Soir.
In Wallonia, with 27.4% of voting intentions for the federal government, the MR remains in the lead of the ranking. This is 0.8% less than the number of votes obtained in the elections of June 9, a very slight decline. THE PS evolves more comfortably in second place, up, with 24.6%, compared to 22% at the polls. Thirds, The Committed received 20.6% of voting intentions (+0.6% compared to June 9). With 12.9%, the PTB did a little better than in the elections (11.6%). Same thing for Ecothis time at 8.1%, compared to 6.9% in June.
The N-VA still in the lead in Flanders
On the Flemish side, we do not see no big upheaval in voting intentions, analyzes Le Soir. There N-VAwinner of the June and October elections is always first (24,6%), followed by a Vlaams Belang still very high (23.5%).
The Flemish socialists of Come on are clearly increasing, above the 15% mark, well beyond the 13% garnered during the June election. President Conner Rousseau’s procrastination, which briefly derailed negotiations on the federal government last month, is thus not sanctioned.
They are followed by a CD&V, also in good shape (he went from 12.8% to 13.3%), unlike the liberals of the‘Open VLDwhich fell from 8.7% of votes in June to 7.2% of voting intentions in this poll. Groen barely manages to convince 6.9% of respondents.
The Ipsos survey was carried out online from November 18 to 21 with 2,591 respondents, including 1,000 people in Wallonia, 1,000 others in Flanders and 591 in Brussels. The maximum margin of error is 3.1% in the north and south of the country and 4% in the capital.

How do the recent changes in voting intentions for the PS and PTB reflect the evolving political landscape in Brussels, and what are the potential implications for future governance?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sophie Dupont on Brussels’ Latest Voting Intentions**
**Host:** Welcome to today’s program, where we delve into the shifting political landscape in Brussels. Joining us is Dr. Sophie Dupont, a political analyst specializing in Belgian politics. Thank you for being here, Dr. Dupont.
**Dr. Dupont:** Thank you for having me. It’s great to be here!
**Host:** The latest Ipsos poll indicates that the PS has regained the top position in federal voting intentions in Brussels, while the PTB achieved a historic score. Could you elaborate on what this means for the political dynamics in the region?
**Dr. Dupont:** Certainly. The PS increasing from 18.6% to 23.1% since the June elections shows a significant resurgence, suggesting that their policies resonate more with voters now. Meanwhile, the PTB’s rise from 16.7% to 20.9% is also noteworthy, marking it as a landmark moment for the party and indicating a shift toward the left in the political landscape.
**Host:** Does this leftward trend in Brussels reflect broader national sentiments, or is it localized to the capital?
**Dr. Dupont:** While these results reflect a growing leftist inclination in Brussels, they might not fully represent the national sentiment. In Wallonia, for instance, the MR still leads with 27.4% support, indicating a more centrist or right-leaning preference in that region. Hence, while Brussels leans left, it’s essential to consider the regional disparities across Belgium.
**Host:** You mentioned the MR’s decline in support. What factors could be contributing to this decrease?
**Dr. Dupont:** The MR’s drop of 2.4% to 20.7% in Brussels could stem from dissatisfaction with their performance in government or competition from leftist parties like the PS and PTB that are addressing voters’ needs differently. Economic issues and social policies are significant factors influencing these voting intentions.
**Host:** With the PS and PTB gaining ground, what implications might this have for future governance in Brussels?
**Dr. Dupont:** Should this trend continue, we could see a coalition reflecting these leftist perspectives, reshaping policy priorities in areas such as social services and climate action. This could lead to a more progressive governance style that addresses shared social issues, particularly important in urban settings like Brussels.
**Host:** Interesting insights! Any final thoughts on what might change as we approach future elections?
**Dr. Dupont:** As we move closer to the elections, public debates and any major events could sway voter opinions significantly. The stability demonstrated by the PS and the historic performance of the PTB will likely encourage these parties to fine-tune their messages to capitalize on this momentum. Voter engagement will be crucial as well, especially among younger populations.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Dupont, for your detailed analysis of the current political climate in Brussels.
**Dr. Dupont:** Thank you for having me! It was a pleasure discussing these important developments.
