Yle poll: SDP support at 25%, Centre overtakes Finns Party

The Social Democratic Party has strengthened its position as Finland’s most popular party, according to a new opinion poll published by Yle, even as the party faced weeks of public scrutiny over allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

Support for the SDP rose to 25.0 per cent in the latest survey, an increase of 1.1 percentage points from the previous measurement. The gap to the second-placed National Coalition Party has grown to more than six percentage points.
