The Sweden Democrats' (SD) party leader Jimmie Åkesson is holding his traditional summer speech on Saturday at Slottsudden in his hometown of Sölvesborg. The day before, the party is backing down in a new voter survey, while both the Social Democrats (S) and The Moderate Party (M) are increasing.

According to the [TV4/GP/Novus voter barometer](TV4/Novus voter barometer), SD received 17.5 percent of voter support in August, a decrease of 2.6 percentage points compared to June.

The Left Party's voter support ends up at 8.7 percent (–0.9), the Green Party 6.6 percent (–0.8), the Centre Party 5.5 percent (–0.2), The Liberals 3.4 percent (0.0), the Christian Democrats 3.6 percent (+0.1), and other parties 0.5 percent (–0.2).
