The Sweden Democrats (SD) have boomed in popularity in the past 12 months, with support rising to 22 per cent, just three per cent behind leading party Social Democrats.
It is the third month in a row the anti-EU party’s popularity rose, according the poll by local media.

Violent scenes erupted across Sweden earlier this month after neo-Nazi and anti-fascist protesters clashed in Stockholm.
Last week 600 neo-Nazis marched to the city's Parliament but were met by anti-racism protestors as they charged through the Old Town in Sweden’s capital.
The counter-demonstrators began throwing eggs, stones, snowballs and flares at the police, who were preventing them from getting through to the right-wing march.
At least one police officer sustained injuries, while several people were taken away from the scenes in ambulances.
