Sweden’s election race tightens as Liberals make parliament threshold
Earlier polls favoured Magdalena Andersson’s opposition, but latest surveys suggest prime minister Ulf Kristersson’s government could still win.
Stockholm, Sweden – The Moderate Party, currently the ruling right-wing bloc and led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, has edged closer to the centre-left opposition ahead of Sunday's general election, according to a recent Novus opinion poll. The poll revealed that the Liberals party has made parliament's 4% threshold for the first time in years, indicating 50.3% support compared to the opposition's 47.9%.
The gap between the two blocs is smaller than the previous 10 percentage-point lead the centre-left held just three weeks ago. The Liberals' rise to 4.3% from 3.3% has eased concerns of losing 16 seats and the coalition's majority. The Novus poll surveyed 2,888 voters between September 1 and September 5.
