The news is bad for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a new poll conducted for Jumhuriyet shows that he will not manage to be re-elected as Turkey's president as he loses to any opponent in the second round of the election.
According to the poll data, the Turkish president, who at home has to deal with a number of top problems, the biggest being the economy, is crumbling demographically against his rivals.
Specifically, Erdogan is polling 36.4 percent of the vote against Mansur Yavas, the CHP-elected mayor of Ankara, who is polling 50.3 percent.
Erdogan has a slightly higher percentage, 39.4%, but that does not give him the lead, compared to Ekrem Imamoglu, mayor of Istanbul, also elected with the Republican People's Party (CHP), who has 46.7% of the vote.
Erdogan has 40.9% against the leader of the "Good Party", Meral Aksener, who nevertheless steals the lead, albeit by a small margin, with 43.2%.
Finally, Erdogan scores 40.5% against Kemalist leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, with Kilicdaroglu, however, taking 42.7% of the vote.
This new poll comes as a shock to the Turkish president, who, ignoring the problems at home, has engaged in a smear campaign and confrontation with Greece.
