BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's opposition Tisza party has a small lead over the ruling Fidesz party, according to an opinion poll published on Thursday, the second survey in a row that showed Tisza overtaking Prime Minister Viktor Orban's party.
Centre-right Tisza's leader Peter Magyar, 43, a former government insider, swept into Hungarian politics before June's European Parliament elections, mounting a serious challenge to Orban and capitalising on discontent with other opposition parties that have proven divided and ineffective against Fidesz in the past 14 years.
