Three-quarters of respondents to a poll by business lobby Eva said that if it was possible, they'd vote for the Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in next week's US presidential election, while just one in ten said they would opt for her rival, Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The canvassing for Eva's Values and Attitudes Survey was conducted during the autumn, and revealed that many Finns are concerned about Trump securing another term in the White House because of the impact it could have on the global geopolitical situation as well as Finland's own national security.
Some 72 percent of respondents said a Trump win would have a negative impact on peace and stability in the world, while only 13 percent said it would have a positive effect.
In addition, more than half (55 percent) said a Trump presidency would have negative knock-on effects on Finland as Russia's neighbour.
By contrast, Finns' views of Harris securing a place in the White House were largely positive. A majority (56 percent) said a Harris victory would have a positive effect on peace and stability in the world, while 43 percent said it would benefit Finland as Russia's neighbour.
"Finns have become concerned that during Trump's [potential] second term, the United States' commitment to Nato and thus Finland's security could be more uncertain," Eva's Managing Director Sami Metelinen explained. "Although Trump has publicly presented plans for achieving peace in Ukraine, his message about the importance of Nato and his stance on Russia causes uncertainty in Finland."
Drilling deeper into the figures, Eva's report noted that Finns Party voters were more likely to back Trump, with 41 percent of the party's supporters saying they would vote for the Republican candidate.
By contrast, only one percent of supporters of the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance and the Swedish People's Party said they would support Trump, while 96 percent of Green Party voters pledged their support for Harris.
The poll was carried out by Taloustutkimus between 8 and 21 October, with 2,018 people in Finland responding to the survey. The margin of error is two to three percentage points in either direction.
