Dead heat between Åkesson and Andersson in voter confidence

Voters now have as much confidence in Jimmie Åkesson as in Magdalena Andersson. The trend in the confidence rankings is upward for the SD leader but downward for the S leader, according to a survey by SvD/Demoskop.

Demoskop measures how many voters have great or very great confidence in the party leaders.

Busch gets 39 percent in the survey, Kristersson 40 percent, three percentage points lower than Åkesson's 43 percent and two percentage points lower than the S leader's 42 percent.

The difference between Andersson and Åkesson is within the margin of error, according to SvD/Demoskop.

A year ago, Magdalena Andersson led by over 50 percent, with Åkesson somewhere around 36-37 percent confidence.

According to Johan Martinsson, head of opinion at Demoskop, Magdalena Andersson has lost a lot in a fairly short time, while Åkesson is increasing his trust among M and KD voters.
