GERB Supported by Young People, University Graduates

Center-right GERB, to which all exit polls ascribed victory in Sunday's early elections, enjoys support from most categories of age and education, data by pollsters Alpha Research and Gallup shows.

Both agencies were the first sources of exit polls at 19:00 EEST, when the ban on announcing preliminary results was lifted.

GERB seems to have been supported mostly by voters aged 18-30, with the DPS coming second (with about three times less), followed by the RB and the BSP.

The same trend is observed among those aged 31-60.

Socialists are overwhelmingly preferred by voters aged over 60.

GERB were the choice of university and high school graduates, while the DPS drew substantial support from secondary school graduates.
