SVT/Verian: MP increases in the first measurement after the election

Just over a month has passed since the red-green parties won the election. Since then, much of the political debate has been about how a new government should be formed, with the different positions of the Center Party and the Left Party at the center.

But despite the fortunes in the government issue, the changes in the first opinion poll from Verian after the election are relatively small.

- The voter barometer for October is close to the outcome in the parliamentary election and indicates that the voters largely stand by their previous party choices. We don't see any major movements between the blocks, says Per Söderpalm.

"MPs appear more reasonable"

The Green Party stands out with a statistically guaranteed increase, from 6.1 percent in the election to 7.1 percent in October.

The party has kept a low profile in the government negotiations, unlike the Center Party and the Left Party, which have received a lot of attention for their positions and demands.

- MP appears in comparison with C and V to be more reasonable, says Elisabeth Marmorstein, SVT's domestic political commentator.

L loses support votes

The Moderates also increase statistically, from 19.9 percent in the election to 22.3 percent. It is the party's highest rating in over five years.

- The increase probably mainly consists of returning moderate voters who voted for the Liberals in the election, says Per Söderpalm.

At the same time, the Liberals lose from 5.3 to 3.7 percent and end up again under the Riksdag barrier.

- We saw the same thing after the last election and then L was under the Riksdag barrier for the entire term, says Elisabeth Marmorstein.

The moderates now have an advantage of 5.1 percentage points over the Sweden Democrats, who get 17.2 percent. It is M's biggest lead over SD since 2018.

Then the opinion polls can put pressure on the red-green parties. Hear Elisabeth Marmorstein in the video above.
