The Red-Green political alliance's lead over Sweden's government parties has shrunk dramatically. Their advantage dropped to 5.6 percentage points in October according to new polling data.
The change comes as the Sweden Democrats gain strong support. Meanwhile, three Red-Green parties all lost some ground. The Social Democrats, Left Party, and Green Party each saw small declines.
Just three months ago, the difference between the blocs stood at about 10 percentage points. The latest numbers show a major shift in Swedish political sentiment.
Which parties have the most support currently? The Social Democrats lead with 35.4 percent backing. The Sweden Democrats follow at 22.9 percent, while the Moderates hold 17.4 percent support.
The Christian Democrats crossed the 4 percent parliamentary threshold for the first time in two years. They now register 4.3 percent support. The Liberals hit a new low at just 2 percent.
This polling data reveals Sweden's ongoing political realignment. The center-left bloc's shrinking advantage suggests voters are reconsidering their options ahead of future elections. The Sweden Democrats continue to solidify their position as Sweden's second-largest party.
