HS: Finns Party and Social Democrats see drops in support

POPULAR SUPPORT for the Finns Party and Social Democrats has fallen sharply in the past month, according to an opinion poll conducted for Helsingin Sanomat by Verian.

The Social Democratic Party, the poll found, would win 21.2 per cent of the vote if the parliamentary elections were held now, signalling a drop of 1.5 percentage points the eight-year high it hit one month earlier.
