The Christian Democrats and the Liberals cleared the threshold with a good margin in the European Championship. In the SCB's party sympathy survey for the Riksdag, both are far below.
The differences should not come as a surprise, according to the political scientist Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson.
Voters in the European Championship dare to spread their votes a bit more.
This is an early May measurement of national opinion and it looks quite normal, says Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson, election researcher and professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg about SCB's measurement.
The Christian Democrats get 2.8 per cent and the Liberals get 3.2 per cent. They are not alone in seeing large discrepancies from the European Championship results.
The Green Party is backing even more in relation to the European Championship, while the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats receive significantly higher support in SCB's measurement.
During the European Championship, the Social Democrats mainly courted the Green Party and the Left Party's very left-wing voters. Since then, the national preference is to go with the Social Democrats.
The difference for the Sweden Democrats is likely due to many voters staying at home during the European Championship, while the Christian Democrats can probably thank top candidate Alice Teodorescu Måwe for many of the votes to Brussels.
The exit poll shows that she was an important reason to vote for the Christian Democrats, says Ekengren Oscarsson.
As for the Liberals, the European Championship is almost their home turf, so it would be strange if they didn't make it.
That both are so far below the threshold in SCB's measurement shows, however, that they have clear problems nationally.
We have many very small parties in Sweden, where artificial respiration is needed for them to survive. One can wonder how sustainable it is to have it that way in the long run.
Christian Democrat leader Ebba Busch thinks she is sitting safely, despite the support of 2.8 per cent, the lowest since the party entered the Riksdag.
She is the Deputy Prime Minister, I don't think anything will happen unless she herself wants it to. She owns the issue entirely herself, I would say.
