Support for Estonia's Center Party and Pro Patria and Res Publica Union (IRL) increased most in September, it can be seen from a survey ordered by the Estonian public broadcaster ERR and conducted by pollster Emor.

If parliamentary elections were to take place tomorrow, the Center Party would win with support from 29 percent of voting age citizens. The party's support grew 3 percent compared to August.

The support for IRL also increased from 14 percent in August to 18 percent in September.

In September 23 percent of voting age citizens supported the Social Democratic Party compared to 25 percent in August.

The smallest change was recorded in the support for the Reform Party -- in August 20 percent of respondents supported the prime minister's party compared to 21 percent in September.

The support for parties not in the parliament decreased a little in monthly comparison.

Emor surveyed 883 voting age citizens in their homes but only data of the respondents who were supporters of a party were used. This was done so the results of the survey could be compared to the results of actual parliamentary elections. In September the percentage of undecided people was 43 percent which was 2 percent more than in August.
