BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Public support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party fell sharply in November, a survey showed on Wednesday, hit by a plan to tax Internet use that it later dropped and by disputes with Western powers.

The survey by pollster Tarki put support for Fidesz at 25 percent, down by a third from 37 percent in October.
