Austria, in any case, is a very strange country and the recent Presidential election (an election to a largely symbolic post) was a very unusual one with the candidate of the Left being associated with the Green Party (which has a largely middle class voter profile) rather than the Social Democrats (which still has a largely working class one). There was a very striking division between city and country in the election (which is unusual in Austria, despite stereotypes) and given the difference in employment structures between the city and country in Austria this will have had a certain effect given the use by Austrian pollsters of very outdated social categories. And along the same lines there was a massive gender division, which (again given the outdated social categories etc) will have had an impact on the figures (which you have to take with a degree of salt anyway). Like, you can't really draw conclusions for any country other than Austria from anything to do with that weird election and can probably only barely do it for Austria...
