A new poll conducted by Megafon for TV 2 and Politiken indicates a significant decline in support for the SMV government among Danes. According to the survey, only 30 percent of voters would vote for one of the three government parties – the Social Democrats, the Moderates, and the Liberals – if there were an election tomorrow. This is a decrease of 20 percentage points since the last election in 2022. The Social Democrats seem to be losing a significant portion of their current seats, and the party may end up with only 30 seats compared to the current 50. At the same time, it appears that the Socialist People’s Party (SF) will experience a strong increase, doubling their current 15 seats. This development means that the Social Democrats could lose the title of Denmark’s largest party to SF.
TV 2 assesses that this poll is one of the worst ever for the Social Democrats, who are projected to receive only 16.7 percent of the votes. Despite the bleak outlook, the Social Democrats’ political spokesperson, Christian Rabjerg Madsen, does not believe that the polls are cause for concern so far ahead of the next general election. Rabjerg Madsen told TV 2: “These numbers do not make us falter. I am convinced that if we continue to make Denmark a better place to be tomorrow than it was yesterday, then the next election will be good for the parties that take responsibility.”
