Conservatives top August poll
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labour Party (AP) drops 1.9 points, to 26.1 per cent, according to the same poll, made by Synovates for Dagbladet. The right-wing Progress Party (FrP) drops 0.7 points, to 22.3 per cent, and is still the third largest party. If this had been a general election, Høyre and FrP together would have received 91 of the 169 seats in Parliament (Stortinget). The red-green government three-party coalition would have a total of 68 seats. Prime Minister Stoltenberg is not satisfied, but says to Dagbladet that it ispossible to turn disappointing polls through hard political work. (Aftenposten)
