Based on the February polls of Norstat Eesti, Turu-uuringute AS and Kantar Emor, the arithmetical aggregate average puts the ruling Reform Party on top with 30 percent, up 2 points from January and 4 points from December of last year. Forming Estonia's ruling coalition has benefited Reform's rating.

The Center Party's three-poll average gives it third place in February on 18 percent, down from 20 percent in January and 21 percent in December.

Non-parliamentary Estonia 200 maintains a rating of 15 percent in February. The liberal party achieved its best ever aggregate average result of 18 percent in December last.

SDE managed 7 percent in February as its rating continues to fall. The opposition party managed 8 percent in January and 9 percent in December.

The Estonian news portal of ERR started publishing aggregated results of polls in August of last year following a proposal by pollsters. Considering possible statistical error margins, individual results of pollsters can differ by up to 3 percent.

Pollsters (Norstat, Turu-uuringute AS, Kantar Emor) also use different methodologies when interviewing respondents. Norstat mostly uses phone interviews but also adds an online panel. Turu-uuringute AS interviews half of respondents face to face and half online, half over the phone and half online from this year. Emor conducts its poll over the internet.
