Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labour Party (AP) drops 4.1 percentage points on the latest poll made by InFact for VG, and the party now has the support of only 24.9 per cent of the electorate.
If this result stands, it will mean that AP in the upcoming municipal elections will achieve the poorest result in modern times, VG writes. The result for July is even below the catastrophic election result of 2003.
Party leader Stoltenberg does not want to comment on the July poll, but Aftenposten writes that he may take consolation from the fact that the right wing Progress Party (FrP) also suffers in the same poll, with a drop of 3.7 points to 16.9 per cent.
The Conservative Party (Høyre) records only a slight gain (0.2 points), but is now the nation's largest political party with the support of 27 per cent of the voters.
The highest gains are recorded for AP's government coalition partner the Agrarians (Senterpartiet), with 2.3 points, to 7.5 per cent,- and for the Liberal Left with 2.4 points, to 6.1 per cent.
