In the Novus survey, which was made between January 30 and February 5, departing Jonas Sjöstedt (V) rushes up to an unharmed first place. 40 percent of respondents say they have quite or very much confidence in him, compared to 28 percent in the last survey. Only 35 percent say they have quite or very little confidence in him.

- Jonas Sjöstedt is a good communicator. He is clear and sharp in matters of fact, while many may perceive him as sympathetic, it is a fairly successful combination. Then there is perhaps a factor that he has had major successes in parliament recently and has been the focus of the debate. At the same time, it may also be a kind of thanks and goodbye from many voters, says Tommy Möller, professor of political science.

The rest of the list looks much like before, with minor changes. 33 percent have confidence in Ebba Busch Thor (KD), 32 percent of Jimmie Åkesson (SD).

The leaders of the traditionally large parties, Ulf Kristersson (M) and Stefan Löfven (S) have confidence from 26 percent. At the bottom, 9 percent feel confidence in Nyamko Sabuni (L) and Per Bolund (MP).

- These are unusually low numbers and only Jonas Sjöstedt has a positive balance, there are more people who think he is good than he thinks he is bad, for the others it is the opposite, says Tommy Möller.

Why do you think so?

- I think Swedish politics is now unusually messy, we have an upturned tone and there are a lot of problems in society that many voters feel that our party leaders and our parties are unable to solve.

Great trust

Jonas Sjöstedt is thus the only person where more people feel great confidence (40 percent) than low confidence (35). None of the remaining party leaders is close to gaining the trust of half or more voters.

Instead, every other voter or more states that they feel little confidence in the party leaders. The exceptions are Jonas Sjöstedt, Ebba Busch Thor and Ulf Kristersson, the latter two having 46 and 47 percent respectively.
