“It is great, and of course I am very pleased. It’s just a poll of course, but the trend is pointing in the right direction,”Social Liberal political spokesperson Sofie Carsten Nielsen said.
“I have seen it myself on the street when I go out to speak with people. People are tired of politics for symbolism and want Denmark to go in a new direction, where we solve problems,” Carsten Nielsen added.
Support for the Social Liberal party has increased by two percentage points since the election was announced.

But libertarian Liberal Alliance, a coalition member alongside the Conservatives, slipped to 2.8 percent – its lowest support since the last general election four years ago.
