Opposition narrows gap on governing right-wing bloc three weeks before Swedish election

A new Indikator poll for Sveriges Radio Ekot puts the opposition left bloc at 51.3 percent against 46.6 percent for the governing Tidö coalition, a gap that has roughly halved since June. The Moderates stand at 18.9 percent, closing in on the Sweden Democrats at 19.7 percent, while a separate Ipsos poll for Dagens Nyheter shows the smallest coalition partner, the Liberals, at just 2.2 percent, below the four percent threshold for parliamentary seats. Sweden votes on 13 September.
