Moderaterna närmar sig Socialdemokraterna i ny opinionsmätning
Published
The Moderates have moved closer to the Social Democrats, Sweden's largest party, according to a new opinion poll. The gap between the two parties has narrowed compared with earlier polls.
Opinion polls show how many voters would vote for the various parties if an election were held at that time. The Social Democrats have long had the strongest support among Swedish voters, but the Moderates, who are the largest party in the government, have increased their support in recent months. Many parties follow the polls closely, as they often show which issues voters consider most important.
It is still uncertain what the result means for the future. Opinion polls are a snapshot, and voters' views can change several times before the election. The general election in Sweden will be held in September 2026, and the parties are already working on their campaigns.
Last year, several surveys showed that voters are uncertain and that many still do not know which party they will vote for. Analysts therefore say it is too early to draw any conclusions. The parties' next steps, and how they explain their policies to voters, may affect how support develops in the coming polls.
