Final spurt in the election campaign: Big differences in the last polls

On Friday came a series of opinion polls, the last before the election. The gap between the blocks is different in the surveys.

Differences this large shortly before election day are remarkable, says election researcher Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson.

- It is a very rapid change in just 7-10 days, some institutes show very dramatic changes from earlier in the week. I interpret it as a large mobilization of waiting and uncertain voters, he says in Aktuellt.

The Liberals end up above the barrier in all surveys - a big change compared to just a couple of weeks ago.

- When there are opinion polls that show that a party is strongly increasing, then it tends to mobilize more people. It is usually said that it is more fun to vote for a winner than a loser, says SVT's domestic political commentator Mats Knutson.

The concern for L: "Can't breathe out"

At the same time, he points out that for L there is a risk that the number of support votes will decrease if it appears that it is clear that the party will pass the Riksdag barrier.

- Even though we see a strong upward trend in all measurements right now, they cannot breathe out yet.

No more measurements are published before election day. The preliminary election results will be presented when the polling stations close at 8pm on Sunday.

- It will be a much more exciting event than we thought two weeks ago, says Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson and states that half of the voters have not voted yet.
