  • The opposition, which has led most polls since the 2015 election, lost its lead after the Social Democrats slipped to 24 percent from 27.2 percent in October.
  • Poll results would give Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen’s bloc 88 seats in the 179-member parliament and 87 seats for the opposition. The remaining four seats are elected from the Faroe Islands and Greenland territories.
