It was clear from looking at the commune-level results that there were a good deal of #trendz this election, and that’s confirmed by this exit poll. To summarise (brackets show changes from 2018):
White-collar workers:
S: 32% (+3)
M: 21% (-1)
SD: 15% (+3)
Blue-collar workers:
S: 32% (-2)
SD: 29% (+5)
M: 14% (-)
Self-employed and farmers:
M: 25% (-4)
SD: 24% (+1)
S: 19% (+6)
What’s very striking is that the SAP’s share among working class voters has declined at every election since 2002, when it stood at 50%, meaning there’s been a decline of almost 40% over those 20 years.
What explains the 6 point with SAP among the self-employed and farmers?
