The Social Democrats (S) are currently Sweden's leading party in polls: Novus (September 7, 2026) shows S at 27.0%, Indikator Opinion (September 4) at 27.9%, the PolitPro 30-day aggregate at ~28.7%. No active Polymarket market for the S vote share; calibrated independently. Historically S achieved 30.3% (2022), 28.3% (2018), 31.0% (2014), 30.7% (2010) — above 27.5% in all four most recent Riksdag elections. The threshold sits just below the current poll aggregate, leaving a buffer for typical election-day variance. S leads all parties with a substantial margin over SD (~20%).
