D66 is enjoying its momentum, and professional bettors are betting that Rob Jetten will become PM.
If D66 gains the most seats, Rob will be the first openly gay PM in the Netherlands. His fiancé is an Argentine Olympic hockey player, so if Rob becomes PM, the Netherlands will have two Argentines as its queen and first spouse.

D66 has always been the party of know it all intellectuals. It’s voter base consists of IT professionals, consultants, yuppies and students. That Rob Jetten is polling this good is therefore quite surprising.

D66 is winning, because it’s currently copying populist-right rhetoric. That’s not the way to go, imho. You will eventually lose that battle. But even more important, you’re selling out your own principles and beliefs. The worst of it all, is that Jetten (D66 leader) is now helping to further normalize far-right PVV. He doesn’t even rule out governing with JA21, which is basically the same as PVV, but dressed in slightly better suits.
I usually vote D66 in our national elections, but I think I’ll go with Volt tomorrow, even though I’m not a fan of small parties. We have too many of those in our Parliament. But I just can’t approve of the current direction of D66. Need to steer clear from right-wing populism.

People always vote for the party that is winning in polls. With that in mind I think there is a real chance we will have a prime minister Jetten, which is fine by me.

Idc if it’s Jetten or Timmermans as PM, all I want is a liberal/progressive and pro eu government for the dutch

A quick reminder PVV was forecast at 27 last election cycle. Don’t celebrate a victory before its achieved and dont expect D66 to *not* cave for the extreme right, theyre populist enough as it stands.

It will be a bad day for the Netherlands.

Wait, I was a bit out of the loop on Dutch politics recently but I remember CDA being on the rise and Henri Bontenbal being talked about as potential PM? What caused this surge in support for D66 now?

JA21 is back. Guess that’s where the PVV share went

Ipsos is always quite off I expect the PVV to have more votes than shown here

I hate the endless polls that define Dutch politics. It has so much influence on voters. All the pundits talk about is polling, instead of what the parties actually want or did.
I know that it affects me too. D66 was going to be my second choice, and now I am faced with voting for them to make sure they are as strong as possible, or do I stick with my first choice and risk them ending up outside of government.
Without endless polling I would have decided based on who I like the most.
