Vannacci's Break That Doesn't Hurt
Roberto Vannacci's new political venture shows low initial support despite high visibility, with voting intentions placing his party at just 2.9%.
Roberto Vannacci's political foray has garnered some attention, positioning him closely behind Matteo Salvini in terms of credibility, with Vannacci at 19% compared to Salvini's 22%. While Vannacci's charisma appears to resonate slightly with voters, reflected in a narrow gap of 29% for Salvini against 26% for Vannacci, the survey published by Osservatorio Emg reveals that Vannacci's party currently holds only a 2.9% intention to vote.
This minimal support raises questions about the longevity and sustainability of Vannacci's political ambitions. Unlike past endeavors such as Italexit, which initially registered between 3-4% in polls before fading, Vannacci's situation seems precarious as the Lega party remains strong at 7.8%. The lack of a significant domino effect following Vannacci's departure from the Lega is noteworthy, with only a handful of deputies choosing to defect, indicating stability within Salvini's party.
The analysis suggests that while Vannacci has managed to create a splash in the political scene, the numbers illustrate that his venture will face tough challenges ahead. Without significant voter support to back his credibility and charisma, Vannacci may struggle to translate popularity into lasting political success, especially against entrenched figures like Salvini.
