DN: Poll was leaked to parties before debate

Novus' latest survey, published on Wednesday by TV4 Nyheterna and Göteborgs-Posten, was leaked to the parties on Tuesday - before the Liberals' Simona Mohamsson and the Sweden Democrats' Jimmie Åkesson were due to debate on SVT's Aktuellt, according to Dagens Nyheter.

Åkesson had previously given L a deadline: If L's numbers did not rise when ten days remained until the election, the support votes would not be forthcoming. But when they met in SVT's studio, they no longer wanted to debate - and instead the debate ended in another hug.

Both Mohamsson's press secretary and SD's press director suggest that they received some kind of advance information about the results in advance.

TV4's editor-in-chief Fredrick Malmberg thinks it's unfortunate.

"I need to find out if it's true and if so, how it could have happened," he tells DN.
