In SVT\/Verian\u2019s latest voter poll, \u201dother parties\u201d are projected to receive 2.7 percent of the vote\u2014nearly double their share in the 2022 election.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just before the election, the SVT\/Verian poll shows <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriangroup.com\/hubfs\/SE\/Valjarbarometern\/Verian-Valjarbarometer_4-10-september-2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voter barometer <\/a><\/strong>a clear boost for the parties outside the Riksdag. The \u201dOthers\u201d group received 2.7 percent, compared with 1.5 percent in the 2022 election. This represents an increase of 1.2 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verian also identifies voters outside the eight parties represented in the Riksdag as one of the groups that could influence the final outcome. The survey was conducted September 4\u201310 and is based on 3,063 interviews with people who indicated their party affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Hidden Struggle Behind 2.7 Percent<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it is not clear which parties are driving the increase. The nationalist party Alternative for Sweden and the other smaller parties are grouped together under \u201dOthers,\u201d which means their individual levels of support remain hidden in the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also means that surprises are possible on Election Day. The 2.7 percent is enough for a single party to garner one percent or more, while significant support remains for other small parties. However, the poll does not provide a basis for determining that the distribution actually looks that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, there is additional potential\u2014as well as uncertainty\u2014beyond the party support reported in the poll. 9.3 percent of respondents did not indicate a party. If these voters go to the polls, their votes could also be distributed among the parties in the \u201dOthers\u201d category, which means that the current 2.7 percent does not set a ceiling on the election results for small parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AFS Sees an Opportunity for a Breakthrough<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternativ f\u00f6r Sverige is among the parties that now hope to capitalize on the high level of support for \u201dOthers.\u201d The party itself drew attention to Verian\u2019s figures on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/afs_riks\/status\/2099039560625725812\">X<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dSVT\/Verian\u2019s latest pre-election poll shows \u201dOther Parties\u201d at 2.7 percent, significantly higher than in the last parliamentary election (1.5 percent).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"sv\" dir=\"ltr\">SVT\/Verian's latest pre-election poll shows \"Other Parties\" at 2.7 percent, significantly higher than in the last parliamentary election (1.5 percent). <br><br>Vote for Alternative for Sweden!

The party states that this threshold would, among other things, mean that ballots would be printed and distributed in 2030, and that ballot costs for this year\u2019s election would be reimbursed. AFS also anticipates greater media exposure and more opportunities to participate in debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Election Day Reveals the Strength<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One percent is just over one-third of Verian\u2019s 2.7 percent for \u201dOthers.\u201d So there is room in the numbers for AFS to reach its goal\u2014but only once the votes are counted will it become clear how the support is actually distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For AFS, such a level could create entirely different conditions for further growth.
