– It is very nice that the Progress Party is increasing support. I think more and more people see that we are the alternative in Norwegian politics, says Frp leader Sylvi Listhaug The online newspaper.
FRP gets a support of 21.9 per cent, up 3.3 percentage points from August. Shortly after, we find the Labor Party, which gets 21.4 percent. This is the first time that the Frp has been measured as the country’s largest party in InFact‘s surveys. The FRP particularly appeals to men and they get a whopping 28.9 per cent among men, compared to 14.2 per cent among women. Support is greatest among the youngest voters.
At the same time, the Conservative Party fell 1.2 percentage points from August to a support of 21 per cent.
– The survey shows a surprisingly large increase for the Frp, but at the same time follows a clear trend for 2024 where the Conservative Party is losing voters, while both the Frp and the Labor Party are gaining strength, says specialist manager Mads Olsen at InFact.
There is a clear bourgeois majority in the survey. Høyre, Frp, Venstre and KrF get a total of 89 mandates. The red-green parties get 80. All the changes in this measurement are within the margin of error, with the exception of the Frp’s increase of 3.3 percentage points.

Rise of the Progress Party in Norway: A Shift in Political Landscape
In a significant development, the Progress Party (FrP) has seen a surge in support in Norway, emerging as the country’s largest party in InFact’s surveys. This trend is consistent with the party’s recent performance in local elections, where it won alongside the centre-right Høyre (H) party, ending the Labour Party’s 99-year reign [[1]].
According to the latest survey, the FrP has gained 3.3 percentage points since August, reaching a support of 21.9 per cent. The Labour Party trails closely behind, with 21.4 per cent support. This marks the first time the FrP has surpassed the Labour Party in InFact’s surveys. The party’s leader, Sylvi Listhaug, attributes this success to the FrP being seen as a viable alternative in Norwegian politics [[4]].
The survey also reveals that the FrP’s appeal is strongest among men, with 28.9 per cent support, compared to 14.2 per cent among women. The party’s support is also highest among the youngest voters. In contrast, the Conservative Party has lost 1.2 percentage points since August, dropping to 21 per cent support.
Mads Olsen, specialist manager at InFact, notes that the survey reflects a clear trend in 2024, with the Conservative Party losing voters while the FrP and Labour Party gain strength [[4]]. This shift in support has resulted in a clear bourgeois majority, with Høyre, Frp, Venestre, and KrF securing 89 mandates, while the red-green parties trail behind with 80 mandates.
This development is not unprecedented, as opinion polling for the 2025 Norwegian parliamentary election has shown a decline in popularity for the far-right and a rise of new populist forces [[3]]. The FrP’s increasing support may be a response to this shift, as voters seek alternative options in Norwegian politics.
The implications of this trend are significant, as it may signal a change in the country’s political landscape. As Norway approaches the 2025 parliamentary election, opinion polling will continue to play a crucial role in gauging voting intentions and tracking the performance of various parties [[2]].
the Progress Party’s surge in support marks a notable shift in Norwegian politics. As the party continues to gain strength, it may reshape the country’s political landscape and potentially have far-reaching consequences for the 2025 parliamentary election.
