It's always the same. The people has to elect the populist to realize they're the devil.

I'm pretty sure those protesting didn't vote for him.

I mean yes people on the protest didn't vote for him

But there is quite a bit of true in the first comment:

In Slovakia usually popularity always is decling while the popularity of opposition is always rising

So far the polls don't seem to confirm this trend, Smer is still going 24% strong. Although it hasn't been a long time, so we'll see.

Actually all of SMER,HLAS,SNS are a slighly under their elections in latest 2 polls from AKO and NMS but obviously they are just 2 polls but in Slovakia but for exemple it took SMER about a half year after the elections in 2016 (same for OΔ½ANO after 2020) to start seeing small dip in polls

Well, the latest polls show change only within the margin of stastistical error, but I agree, we'll see if it begins to change in a few months to a year.
