Early polling since the agreement suggests that progres­sive D66 supporters are disappointed with the coalition’s direction, and some indicate a renewed preference for GL-PvdA. More broadly, sizeable groups of left-wing and progressive voters continue to state that they would con­sider voting for the alliance under the right conditions, suggesting that a future-oriented programme, combined with a coherent campaign could win them back. Particu­larly promising is GL-PvdA’s strong support among young voters, especially young women, in 2025. This indicates that generational turnover, long seen as a threat in light of PvdA’s aging electorate, may instead turn out to be an opportunity, ­especially if the minority coalition continues to pursue a rightward course.
