Opinion polls

In the spring of 2021, Norstat conducted a nationwide survey commissioned by the Center Party, to answer how the party fared before the parliamentary elections in 2021.[11] Two percent of the 1,000 respondents answered "yes" to the question of whether they considered voting for the party in the autumn elections. Nine percent answered "maybe", and 13% answered "do not know".[12]
