New NRK measurement: Erna Solberg waterfalls

That would be a historic blessing. Neither the party nor its “great old man”, Kåre Willoch (91) was born when Høgre was our largest party in a parliamentary election. But I would not they were enough to give Erna Solberg a third consecutive term as prime minister.

For that, little help with 26.5 percent support, when the government partners are called KrF (3.2%) and the left (3.1%). If we have the support party Frp (10.1%), which in April had difficulties to overthrow the government, the citizen will receive page 70 of the 169 mandates for the Storting.

85 is required for the plural. By comparison, the four who have worked together to rule Norway in the past seven years received 96 seats after the 2013 election and 88 seats after the last election, in 2017.

The first time Right was the biggest in this monthly party barometer was in September 2018. Erna Solberg has this comment that it is happening again, in the midst of the crown crisis:

– It’s good with good numbers, but the most important thing now is to beat the infection and make sure we have jobs for the pandemic. In just a few short weeks we have shot down the virus and put in over 200 billion crowns to secure jobs. All political parties and social partners work well together so that we can lift Norway out of the crisis.

Loser ap – debt on “information monopoly”

Despite the party’s name and history, Labor Party voters are not looking in a time of crisis where more than 400,000 Norwegians are middle class or permanently unemployed.

24.7 percent had interpreted the worst parliamentary elections in 96 years, since 1924.

Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre will not answer why he believes this to be the case, but points to Bjørnar Skjæran, who in addition to Hadia Tajik, is the deputy party in the party.

– How long will Ap grow if they fail in the midst of a gigantic economy and an unemployment crisis?

– We have a long time before the elections and we see no reason for concern. I register it in Norway, Ap as the main opposition party is stable around the support we have, while parties in the same position in other countries have regressed a lot in this crisis, says Skjæran.

The deputy director also shares his thoughts on why Høgre says:

– It is quite normal in times of crisis and we see in all countries that wealthy people flock to the largest government party. Here in Norway they have also been armed so that they can resist almost contradictory and have daily press conferences. They have come close to an information monopoly, but this is probably best in times of crisis. I think we should be patient with this, and it has also been important for us to contribute to the widest possible compilation around the measures introduced.

Voters from five Solberg party preferences

Historically, poor Ap numbers challenged: if the party’s barometer for May had been an electoral result, Jonas Gahr Støre would likely have become prime minister. Today’s red-green opposition consisting of Ap, Sp, SV, MDG and Raudt wins a total of 99 seats, making up a large majority.

In addition to the party, callers in the survey also had to answer the question that miners are best suited to be prime minister in Norway:

A total of 54 percent said they preferred Erna Solberg, 29 percent Jonas Gahr Støre and 17 percent did not respond or did not know.

Erna Solberg is the prime minister of choice for voters on the right, frp, left, krf, and perhaps, somewhat surprisingly, the center party. 52 percent of those who vote will vote Sp prefers Solberg as prime minister. 28 percent responded to Støre, and 20 percent did not respond or did not know.

NRK asked Sp Spier Trygve Slagsvold Vedum if he can guarantee that Sp will run for Jonas Gahr Støre as Prime Minister after the upcoming elections, and not for Erna Solberg or Vedum:

“Trygve Slagsvold Vedum has no comment on the personal survey,” is the response from press officer Lars Vangen at Sp.

Pay less than when you left the government

The May party barometer has small changes, all of which are within the margin of error.

The party that, according to the survey, goes back the most is still the Progress Party, which with a 10.1 percent participation is less than the party when in January they decided to withdraw from the government (10.3%).

Since the exit of the government, Frp has progressed on many occasions both in the NRK and in the Aftenposten party barometer and in other measurements. Several times, Siv Jensen has explained progress by showing that voters liked the decision to withdraw from the government.

– No host measured less than before the pier left government. So what does that show?

– We never thought that leaving the government was a simple solution. After we left, we saw immediate comments that it was a correct decision, so there is a long time that the normal political landscape has been out of business. Furthermore, we recognize that we must work hard in the future to show why Frp makes a difference in Norwegian politics, Siv Jensen tells NRK.

The next parliamentary election is September 13, 2021. 495 days to go.
