Support for Orpo's coalition dwindles, with Rkp voters most dissatisfied

A Verian poll shows Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's government received its weakest approval, and only one in seven Rkp supporters view it positively.

The Verian party barometer indicates that Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's cabinet has achieved the poorest approval score among all Finnish governments tracked in the 60-year series. Only a small fraction of Rkp voters—roughly one in seven—rate the government's performance positively, reflecting a more critical stance despite the party's participation in the coalition. In contrast, supporters of the National Coalition Party and the Finns Party show higher levels of approval, with four out of five and two out of three respectively expressing confidence.

Overall, the government's popularity has been slipping steadily, placing one outlet rating among the five lowest in the long-running survey. The study also highlights a notable rise in support for Liike one outlet, while the Social Democratic Party remains the most positively viewed party overall.

Why it matters

The poll reveals growing public discontent with the ruling coalition, signaling potential challenges for policy implementation.
