Since December, the SD has lost ground in public opinion, which is statistically confirmed. In April, it gets 18.2 percent, according to the measurement made by Indikator Opinion for Sveriges Radio Ekot.
During the spring, the focus has been on international events, and in those issues, the Sweden Democrats are overshadowed by the government and above all The Moderate Party, says Per Oleskog Tryggvason, opinion chief at Indikator, to the radio.
The Moderate Party increases its support in April by more than 2 percentage points compared to March, a statistically confirmed increase. The party is now at 21.1 percent, which is the best result this term.
The support for the other parties has not moved much. The S is the largest party with 34.4 percent. KD and L are steadily below with 3.0 and 2.8 percent, respectively.
The Liberals' party leader Johan Pehrson announced his resignation on the same day the measurement was completed, and the news is therefore not believed to have affected the survey, where 2,840 interviews were conducted between April 11 and 28, notably.
