Yle's first party support poll since the parliamentary election last month showed little change between Finland's top three parties.
The National Coalition Party (NCP), Finns Party and Social Democratic Party (SDP) remained nearly deadlocked, each carving out roughly one-fifth of support — a result quite similar to the election.
Centre slips after election defeat
The most notable change in the poll was the Centre Party's dip in support to 10.2 percent, a drop of 1.1 percentage points from the April election.
The research director at polling outfit Taloustutkimus, Tuomo Turja, told Yle that this poll was quite typical after elections, with the party losing the most support usually plummeting a bit further.
Tactical voters not "returning home"
The Green Party and Left Alliance saw their support remain roughly the same, only increasing by 0.5 and 0.4 percentage points, respectively.
However, Turja noted that this should not be viewed as a "return home" of supporters who may have tactically voted for SDP in the elections.
"At least nine out of ten of those who voted for a party a month ago say they would still vote for the same party," Turja pointed out.
Support for the Christian Democrats and Swedish People's Party (SPP) remained at similar levels.
The Christian Democrats with 4.3 percent slightly edged out SPP with 4.1 percent.
Movement Now's support remained at 2.0 percent
Yle commissioned Taloustutkimus to conduct the survey, which questioned 2,594 people. Respondents were asked which party candidate they would vote for if the parliamentary elections were held now. The interviews were conducted between 3 April and 2 May. Exactly 2,098 respondents indicated their political affiliation. The margin of error is two percentage points in each direction.
