Social Democrats fall to their lowest Verian score under Andersson
Sweden’s Social Democrats have fallen to 26.1% in the latest SVT/Verian poll, their lowest reading in the series since Magdalena Andersson became party leader.
The November survey for SVT puts the Moderates at 23.3%, less than three percentage points behind. The Social Democrats are losing voters mainly to the Moderates, but also to the Greens, according to the report.
Verian’s polling director Per Söderpalm says criticism of the Social Democrats’ handling of government formation has probably affected their support. That is his interpretation, rather than a cause established by the survey.
The Centre Party stands at 5.7% and the Left Party at 8.5%. Only the Social Democrats’ change from October is statistically significant; the Centre Party’s significant decline is measured against the election result.
The Tidö parties together score 50.6%, against 47.7% for the red-green parties. That gap is not statistically significant. Around 3,000 interviews were conducted between 26 October and 8 November, providing a snapshot of voting intentions during the coalition negotiations.
