Demoskop's April poll reveals clear gender differences in support for Swedish parties. Among men the Tidö parties have 53 percent while the opposition has 45 percent. Among women the situation is reversed with the opposition at 63 percent and the Tidö parties at 36 percent.
The differences have become clearer over time according to opinion chief Johan Martinsson at Demoskop. The Sweden Democrats account for much of the gap with 24 percent support among men and 15 percent among women.
The Moderates are meeting in Stockholm this weekend to discuss how to attract more female voters. Culture Minister Parisa Liljestrand says the Moderates need to better explain the background to their reforms.
The Green Party has the opposite problem with only 5 percent support among men compared to 10 percent among women. The Christian Democrats have 6 percent among men and 3 percent among women.
