Parties which get less than 10 percent votes cannot enter the parliament.
The survey means that AKP would win the election while CHP and MHP would enter the parliament and remain as main opposition parties.
The July 22 elections come four months earlier after lawmakers failed to elect a new president in two rounds of voting in late April and early May because of opposition parties'' boycott.
The main opposition CHP and other opposition parties criticized the AKP''s attempts to implement an Islamic agenda in the secular Muslim country, but the AKP denied this, saying it is a democratic party that reflects the diversity of modern Turkey.
