The Social Democrats are losing support for the first time since the election in September, TV4 Väljaropinion shows. However, “Lag Andersson” still leads by a large margin – and the small parties L, KD and MP are under the Riksdag barrier. There is a tailwind in public opinion for the Sweden Democrats – but Magdalena Andersson’s team would still win overwhelmingly if there were an election today. This is shown by TV4 Väljaropinion, where researchers from the University of Gothenburg have weighed up recent measurements. A possible break in the trend The Social Democrats have made strong progress since the election in September, from 30.3 percent to 36.4 percent, the balance shows. But it is also the first time since the election that the Social Democrats’ support has decreased (-0.2). – The Social Democrats have risen upwards since the election and all the way up until now where you can see that they are suddenly backing down, admittedly very little, but it is a break in the trend, says TV4 Nyhetern’s political commentator Per Hermanrud. If there were elections today, Andersson’s team would win with 195 mandates against the Tidöpartierna’s 154, but the balance also shows that Andersson’s team has lost 8 mandates to Kristersson’s team since May 10 this year. The Sweden Democrats, who lost 0.4 percent in the TV4 Väljaropinion last month, are the party that is making the strongest progress in the latest comparison (+0.5). Still sluggish for KD, L and MP The Christian Democrats ended up below the barrier of 3.7 percent according to the latest balance from May 10. Even if KD’s support rises marginally, they still end up below the barrier of 3.8 percent in today’s TV4 Väljaropinion. – It is a small consolation for the Christian Democrats who have lost approximately every third voter since the election, says Per Hermanrud. The support of the Center Party, the Liberals and the Green Party still appears to be decreasing somewhat. The figures in TV4 Väljaropinion come from researchers at Gothenburg University who combined measurements from opinion institutes from Demoskop, Ipsos, Novus, SCB and Sifo.
