The figures come from NRK, the Norwegian public service company that has compiled its latest so-called super measurement before the election. According to this, the red-greens are expected to get 88 seats in the Storting, the Norwegian parliament, against the bourgeois side which gathers 81 seats.
If the figures stand, the country's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre is expected to be able to remain in office during a new term.
The figures give support to the Labour Party of 27.6 percent, while the two main challengers, the Progress Party, land at 21.2 percent and the Right 14.6 percent.
According to the survey, no parties with seats in the Storting fall below the four percent threshold and thus do not risk losing their representation in the legislative assembly. But as is often the case in Sweden, the threshold limit may become important. Both the Labour Party's intended support parties, MDG and Red, and the Christian People's Party as well as the Centre Party on the other side are dangerously close to the limit.
