Green Party leaders Peter Eriksson and Maria Wetterstrand increased their support by 6 percent to 36 percent.

Centre Party leader Maud Olofsson increased by 1 percent to 42 percent and the Christian Democrat's Göran Hägglund declined 2 percent to 31 percent. The Left Party's Lars Ohly increased 2 percent to 19 percent.

Jan Björklund's first rating since becoming leader of the Liberal Party (Folkpartiet) indicated support of 29 percent - higher than his predecessor, Lars Leijonborg.

The Sifo survey was commissioned by Aftonbladet. Pollsters interviewed 969 people between the 10th and 13th of December.
