The election in Denmark – Wow! It’s the wildest
COPENHAGEN (Dagbladet): A record number of Danes have no idea what to vote for in today’s election.
A measurement from Vox meter which was carried out on Friday, shows that one in five voters (22.1 per cent) were still in doubt about which party they should vote for.
An unusually large number of voters are sitting on the Danish fences today. It also makes the election result tonight extra difficult to predict. On top of it all, it’s also hard to even between red and blue block. In sum, there are now so many uncertainties that even staunch number crunchers gape.
– Wow, I’m just saying. It is the wildest election forecast I have made in my 15 years of working with this, says director of Kantar Public, Camilla Fjeldsøe.
Put out of sex issues
Ahead of the general election in 2015, 11 percent of voters were in doubt on election day. The number rose to 15.9 at the 2019 election, but is therefore much higher this year.
– Never before have so many voters been in doubt the day before the election, adds Fjeldsøe.
Danish voters Dagbladet spoke to in Copenhagen express the same weariness with politicians as the large number of undecided voters indicates.

A draw
In a super poll published in the Danish newspaper Berlingske today, it is almost a dead race between the ruling red-green bloc and the bourgeois bloc – but the bourgeois have a narrow lead in the survey.

If none of the blocs manage to secure a majority, the new centrist party the Moderates, led by ex-prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, may come to the fore.
49.1 percent of those surveyed support the red side in the survey – 50.9 say they support the bourgeois side.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksens The Social Democracysister party of Norske Ap, is the largest in the survey with 26.2 percent support.
The second largest is the party Left, a hybrid of Left and Right in Norway, with 13.7 percent. This is a ten percent decline compared to the 2019 election.
