According to a new poll by VG and Aftenposten, the Red Party (Rødt) has gained significant ground, nearing 8% approval, thus positioning itself as the largest party to the left of the Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet). In contrast, the Socialist Left Party (SV) is barely above the electoral threshold. This shift in Norway's political landscape could mark a significant reorganization of leftist politics, as the Red Party capitalizes on its momentum. The poll reflects broader trends, showing that the Green Party (MDG), the Christian Democrats (KrF), and the Liberal Party (Venstre) have all fallen below the threshold necessary to secure parliamentary representation.

Meanwhile, the Labour Party is experiencing a slight decline, down 3.1 percentage points from the election results, while the Conservative Party (Høyre) has gained support, reaching 18%. The Progress Party (Frp) remains the largest party, despite a minor drop in support. This polling result suggests a potential conservative majority in the Storting, with 88 seats allocated to right-leaning parties. Thus, the Socialist Left Party may find it increasingly challenging to maintain its status as the main leftist party, a position now held by the Red Party, which could alter the dynamics of leftist representation in Norwegian politics significantly.
