Support for Sweden's Moderates climbs to highest level in five years
A new poll shows the Moderates gaining their strongest backing in half a decade, while the Liberals slipped below the parliamentary threshold.
The first post-election survey indicates a statistically significant rise in support for the Moderates, marking their best performance in five years. Analysts attribute the gain mainly to former Moderate voters who backed the Liberals in the election. Meanwhile, the Liberals fell enough to drop under the threshold required for parliamentary representation. The poll surveyed about three thousand respondents aged 18 to 84, selected through random representative sampling.
Why it matters
The poll highlights shifting voter loyalties that could reshape Sweden's parliamentary balance.
