Frederiksen Bloc Nears Majority in Denmark Vote Amid Tight Polls

Denmark’s left-wing bloc led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is approaching a parliamentary majority ahead of the Denmark general election 2026, according to new opinion polls Denmark.

Surveys by Epinion and Megafon indicate that parties backing Frederiksen could secure 87 to 88 seats in the 179-member Folketing. A majority requires 90 seats in the Danish parliament. The right-leaning opposition bloc is projected to win between 73 and 77 seats, underscoring a tight Denmark election race.

Frederiksen’s Social Democrats have regained support after trailing in late 2025. Polling in December placed the party near 17%, but recent surveys show backing above 20%. The rebound has strengthened the left-wing bloc Denmark, though support remains below the party’s 28% result in the 2022 vote.

Denmark has been governed by a centrist coalition since the last election, bringing together rival parties in an unusual alliance. Current projections suggest voters are consolidating around traditional blocs, increasing the likelihood of renewed coalition government Denmark negotiations if no side reaches a majority.

Economic policy has emerged as a central issue. Frederiksen has proposed a wealth tax proposal Denmark aimed at funding education and welfare spending. Opposition leaders argue the measure could hurt investment and business confidence. Cost of living Denmark and immigration policy remain key campaign themes.

Foreign policy has also influenced debate. Tensions involving Greenland have heightened focus on Greenland security tensions and Arctic strategy. The government has said it will protect Danish sovereignty while strengthening defence cooperation.
