The Social Democrats gained 45.5 percent in the February poll, up 2.4 percentage points since December and the party’s highest standing since 1994.

Fredrik Reinfeldt’s Moderates stand at 21.4 percent, up 1 point since December.

The Green party and the Liberal party (Folkpartiet) both gained 6.6 percent after falling 0.6 and 0.8 percentage points respectively. The Centre party declined by 0.8 percentage points to 6.0 and the Left party by 0.5 points to 5.5. The Christian Democrats fell 1.1 percentage points to 4.2.
