A majority of Swedish voters expect the government to lose power after September's general election, according to a new survey commissioned by public radio broadcaster Sveriges Radio's news programme, Ekot.
The poll, conducted by Indikator Opinion in May, suggests that more than half of respondents, 55 percent, believe the opposition will win the most votes. By contrast, 45 percent predict that the government will stay in office.
Among the most politically engaged voters, expectations of a change of government are even stronger, with two out of three believing the centre-left opposition will take over.
The survey targeted a random sample of 4,586 eligible voters, with a response rate of 42 percent.
The election will be held on September 13th.
