Latest poll: Conservatives on the advance

The Conservative Party (Høyre) is making great strides on the latest poll made by Norfakta, and is now the largest non-socialist party with the support of 30.6 per cent of the electorate. (Photo: Høyre leader Erna Solberg)

This is a 5.1 point gain from last month, and Høyre's best Norfakta poll ever.

The poll also shows a 4.3 point drop for the right-wing Progress Party, to 14.7 per cent.

- In order to secure a non-socialist government in the 2013 election, we have to win over enough of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labour Party's voters, says Høyre's Deputy leader Tore Sanner.
