The survey was conducted from 26 August to 22 September. There, Novus sees a significant rise for the Swedish Democrats - which is up by 2.3 percentage points from the previous month.

SD increases for the second survey in a row after the summer. However, this is not the party's highest measurement at Novus. In February 2019, SD had 21.2 percent and the last survey before the Almedals week 2018, the party had a support of 22.4 percent.

- Firstly, I hope that it is a result of all the work we put in, which aims to broaden the party and deepen us on certain issues, and partly that confidence in the Swedish Democrats has increased and that our brand is stronger, says party secretary Richard Jomshof ( SD).

He continues:

- But I am also convinced that there is a strong dissatisfaction with the other parties, not least the policies that have been implemented in the immigration area. And maybe also linked to the problems we have seen in the summer related to shootings and blasts and so on. So it's a combination of many things.

Largest among men

Among men, the Swedish Democrats are now the largest party with 26.6 percent in voter support. This means that you are slightly above the Social Democrats who receive 22.4 percent and the Moderates who receive 22.1.

Among women, the third largest is 14.7 percent, well below the Social Democrats '26.9 percent and the Moderates' 18.6 percent.

The survey also shows an upturn for the Moderates, while the Social Democrats and the Center Party back, even though it is not statistically certain.

Takes votes from multiple parties

According to Novus, SD mainly takes voters from M, S, KD and C without losing any voters themselves.

"The Swedish Democrats have had a tough time from the January agreement until the summer, but when there has been more focus on societal problems and crime, the party has got a push from standing aside," says Torbjörn Sjöström, CEO of Novus.

The government parties lose a total of 2.3 percentage points and have a total support of 29.6 percent. The basis for the parties behind the January agreement is reduced by 3.9 percentage points, thus having a total support of 41.1 percent of voters.

If this measurement had been an election result, the Liberals would be allowed to leave Parliament. According to Novus, the Moderates, the Christian Democrats and the Swedish Democrats would then get 176 seats together, ie a majority.
