The Liberals end up at 2.5 percent in the Statistics Sweden survey, which is well below the parliamentary threshold. This also means that the three red-green parties - S, V and MP - would secure a majority in the Riksdag on their own.
It is obvious that voters want a majority that solves their everyday problems, ensures that people can afford their rent, that there is food on the table and that welfare works, instead of the tax cuts that the Tidö government stands for, says V's party secretary Maria Forsberg.
The Moderates instead want to warn about what the survey shows.
If there were an election today, Sweden would wake up to the shock of the Left Party and the Green Party in government. But there is no election today; there are 101 days left, says M's party secretary Karin Enström.
L continues to fall
L's support of 2.5 percent means that the party lost 0.3 percentage points compared to last year's survey. Since the 2022 election, it has lost 2.1 percentage points. But party secretary Fredrik Brange calls the SCB survey a 'snapshot'. He points out that L often tends to increase in the final sprint.
The election will be decided on election day, he says.
S ends up at 33.9 percent, a loss of just over 2 percentage points compared to the previous measurement.
This is a survey and there is a long way to go until the election, so we will continue to focus on the economy, welfare and security for the Swedish people, says party secretary Tobias Baudin.
C takes the figures in the Statistics Sweden survey as evidence that their party will be 'the most important thing in the election campaign'.
It is only through a strong Center Party that we can avoid Swedish politics moving to the left, says party secretary Hannes Hervieu, referring to S, V and MP getting their own majority.
Even M loses ground
M is losing some ground since the last poll, but is emphasizing that the proportion of undecided voters is large. The party is also taking the opportunity to attack the red-greens for 'bluffing' about welfare cuts.
Our question to the undecided voters: Can you afford a red-green government? says M's election leader Martin Borgs at a press conference.
SD grows slightly in the survey, up 0.3 percentage points - but loses 2.2 percentage points compared to the 2022 election. SD's party secretary Mattias Bäckström Johansson is still satisfied.
We are satisfied with 18.3, which is more than we had in the 2022 election campaign, he says.

The survey was conducted between April 28 and May 28.
The sample included 9,260 randomly selected persons eligible to vote. The response rate is 49 percent.
The responses were collected both through telephone interviews and online surveys.
SCB's party sympathy survey is divided into two parts. In Thursday's survey, the question was: Which party would you vote for if there were parliamentary elections in the next few days?
The second part of the survey will be published on June 10, when the questions will be more focused on party sympathies.
