Tidö parties gain majority in new Swedish poll

A new Novus poll indicates a significant shift in Swedish political support, with the Tidö parties gaining a substantial lead over the red-green bloc. The Tidö parties, comprising the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, and Christian Democrats, have collectively reached 52.2 percent support, a 3.3 percentage point increase from the previous election results. This surge suggests they could secure a parliamentary majority even if the Liberals fall below the 4 percent threshold.

In contrast, the red-green parties are seeing a decline in support. The Social Democrats have dropped to 25.9 percent, a 2.1 percentage point decrease from the election, while the Left Party has fallen to 7.2 percent. The Moderates showed the strongest growth, increasing by 4 percentage points to 23.9 percent. Meanwhile, the Liberals are the only party in the Tidö bloc to lose ground, dropping to 3.9 percent.

The polling shifts occur amidst prolonged and difficult government formation negotiations. The decline in support for the Social Democrats and the Left Party follows their previous claims of being the election winners, adding pressure to their leadership as they navigate potential parliamentary votes and the possibility of an extra election.
