another month has passed in Swedish politics since the greatest focus directed towards the refugee situation. But this time gives the turmoil in the world do not mark in voter opinion.

In SvD / SIFO’s voter barometer for March is the Conservatives still the largest party on 26.9 percent. The Social Democrats note 26.2 percent, which is a significant increase compared to January, when the party had its worst result – ever – in measurements.

However, do not move any of the Parliamentary eight parties significantly up or down in the March survey.

the smaller parties within the Alliance – C, L and KD – continues to be low, in the order of their election results. Although MP is close to the figures from the 2014 elections. Neither the Left is moving significantly, but the party is a few percentage points over the election results.

The Sweden Democrats lands at 17 percent, which is in line with last month measurements.

– Opinions are relatively stable , in total. There is very little difference between the blocks, with 41.5 and 39.6 of the Alliance for the Red-Green says Toivo Sjörén, head of the Sifo polling.

The only tangible difference Sjörén can find in today’s survey is that there is now a significant difference between the sexes of the Moderates’ voters: 29.2 percent of women would now vote for the party, against 25.3 percent of men.

– the Moderate party is now the largest women’s party. Something within the party makes the M right now attract female voters. What exactly is hard to say, but they come from the couch and virtually all parties except V and MP, said Toivo Sjörén.

The second largest among women is S with 24.6 percent. It is the first time since the election M runs on S in particular women.

If it were an election today would be 44 per cent of women vote for the Alliance and 41 percent of the red-green. For the Social Democrats, this is a clear challenge, says Sjörén.

– Red-Greens tend to be a little stronger in women than in men. This will be a challenge for political parties.

especially in the lower age groups, S-conductor Stefan Löfven difficult to attract women. For 50 years, voted only 16.2 percent of women in S, compared with 34.6 percent for those over 50 years.

– There are huge differences that are difficult to deal with and can create tensions within the party .
