Not since the month before the last parliamentary election, August 2018, has the support for the Christian Democrats been as low as now in November.
This is shown by Swedish voter opinion, a weighting of several opinion polls that Kantar Sifo does for Ekot, and where the Christian Democrats land at 5.5 percent.
The Christian Democrats’ party secretary Peter Kullgren sees a corona effect in the figures:
– Everything else overshadowed is to fight the pandemic we are in the middle of, in the middle of a second wave of. As a result, factual politics has been overshadowed. And, quite naturally, the governing parties get more space, he says.
The support for Ebba Busch’s party is now well below the election result from 2018, when the Christian Democrats received support from 6.3 percent of voters. The party has backed down in every poll since last summer.
– We can state that the Christian Democrats have continued to have a very high level of support in healthcare issues. It will be to our advantage when we evaluate this situation that we have had now, and we have many good, concrete proposals, says Kullgren.
But also for the Liberals it still looks heavy, the party remains at its bottom level 3.1 percent and would thus fall out of parliament if there were an election today. The Liberals ‘support is the lowest since Swedish voters’ opinion began its polls in 2010.
At the same time seems the decline in recent months for Prime Minister Stefan Löfven’s Social Democrats party has been broken. The party is noted for a slight rise and lands at 26.8 percent.
The Left Party, with newly elected party leader Nooshi Dadgostar, is noted for a small increase, to 10.4 percent. The Green Party is just getting over the parliamentary barrier while the Center Party is backing down somewhat. The Moderates and the Sweden Democrats stand still. In general, the changes are small in November.
