Ruling DS party leader Boris Tadic and opposition SNS party president Tomislav Nikolic are "almost equally trusted by the citizens", a recent survey showed. The poll was coordinated by editor-in-chief of the New Serbian Political Thought magazine Djordje Vukadinovic. Progressives and Democrats "now equal in polls" The poll was carried out in June in Serbia, excluding Kosovo and Metohija, on a sample of 1,200 respondents. "A crucial change compared to the surveys conducted several months ago is that the difference between SNS and DS has melted down. SNS is still the first, but now their advantage compared to DS is at the level of statistical error," Vukadinovic stated for Belgrade's Press tabloid. He explained that SNS's rating declined by more than DS's rating went up, which is caused by several events, starting from Nikolic's hunger strike, to the arrest of Ratko Mladic to NATO's summit in Belgrade, "which were not going SNS's way". The poll shows that the opposition Serb Radical Party currently takes third place as individual party, but would lose the position if the Socialist Party of Serbia - Party of United Pensioners of Serbia - United Serbia (SPS-PUPS-JS) ran the next elections as a coalition. As far as ministers as concerned, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic received the best grade, followed by Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic and Minister of Labor and Social Policy Rasim Ljajic. The parties that would also cross the five-percent threshold necessary to win parliament seats are the Liberal Democrats (LDP), the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and the Socialist Party of Serbia, which can, according to this, count on the support of in between 6 and 8 percent of voters. The results showed that Mladjan Dinkic's United Regions of Serbia(URS) doubled the number of likely votes it would receive in elections compared to the previous period, "probably because of its intensive campaign for Serbia's decentralization" - but would still not win any seats in the next parliament.
