Swedish center right extends lead in poll
5 June 2010 / REUTERS , STOCKHOLM
Sweden’s center-right government extended its lead over the Social Democrat-led opposition ahead of a September general election, an opinion poll showed on Friday.
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt’s four-party coalition government gathered 50.9 percent support in the survey, carried out by Demoskop in tabloid Expressen, against a combined 44.3 percent for the Social Democrats, Left and Green parties. Reinfeldt’s Moderates have now overtaken the Social Democrats as the biggest party, the poll showed. The
center-right had previously trailed the opposition in all but a handful of polls since taking power in 2006. The Moderates were backed by 34.5 percent against 29.9 percent for the Social Democrats, showed the poll of 1,177 voters, carried out between May 26 and June 2. Support for the Social Democrats, which ruled Sweden for most of the post-World War II era, dropped 3.9 percent from the previous Demoskop poll in early May with the Moderates rising by the same amount.
