The Democrats (SDS) have increased their lead in the latest weekly poll commissioned by the private broadcaster Nova24TV, despite losing voter support compared to a week ago.
The SDS polled at 20.4% this time, as much as 7.2 percentage points ahead of the Marjan Šarec List (LMŠ) of the outgoing prime minister, on 13.2%. The SDS, the party at the centre of an incoming right-wing government, polled at 22.4% a week ago and the LMŠ at 16.2%. The SocDems replaced the Left in third after gaining 2.5 points to 7.8%.
