Sweden’s right-wing opposition may be on the way to unseat Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s Social Democratic government, as it holds a narrow lead in a poll published less than four weeks before general elections.
In the poll by Novus, commissioned by public broadcaster SVT, the loose coalition of four opposition parties was supported by 49.8% of voters, 1.2% higher than in the company’s previous poll. The parties that are likely to support an Andersson-led government drew support from 48.7% of respondents.
