The Green Party is losing popularity among voters – and the decrease is most visible among those aged 18–29, according to Statistics Sweden’s large party sympathy survey in May.
Compared with the survey in November, the party drops from 7.5 percent to 3.4 in the younger age group.
The party sympathy survey does not show how voters would vote if there were an election, but rather which party they think is best. However, the differences are small.
For the MPs, a total of 3.4 percent answer that they sympathize with the party, which is a statistically significant decline from 4.0 in the previous survey.
The Liberals are also relatively low, at 3.6 percent. The Christian Democrats get 5.1 and the Center Party 6.6 percent.
The Social Democrats have the greatest success among voters and attract 33.0 percent. The Government Party sees a clear increase in support for women compared with the last Statistics Sweden survey in November.
As many as 38.2 percent of women think that S is the best party. In November, the share was 34.9. S has greater support among foreign-born than domestic-born.
The moderates land at 21.4 percent in total. Compared with November, support for the party decreases among those aged 50–64, among those born in Sweden and among those with a shorter post-secondary education.
The Sweden Democrats note 16.5 percent. The party continues to have greater support among men than among women. The support is greatest among those aged 50–64, compared with other age groups.
