...who could explain what is going on with Fremskrittspartiet? Why are they sinking like rocks in oppinion polls at the moment?

Really ? It's surprising indeed to see a far-right party sinking in the polls, by these times...

Yep since November last year they've fallen from about 25% support to around 15%

Thank you Teddy, that explains it. Very kind of you to find those links.

So FrP is sinking like rocks, Høyre doing really well, the Red-Greens are on decline. Very promising trends. Just a pity there isn't another general election for two years, so both Jensen and Stoltenberg has time to recover.

Things seem far brighter to me for the scandinavian left

That things are looking well for the left in Scandinavia does not necessarly mean they look good for the Social Democrats though. Sure a switch of power is very likly in Denmark but the Social Democrats still seem to be below 30% in most polls, around 28-29% which is about the same result they had in 2001 when Fogh Rasmussen took power, and worse than they had anytime in the 90's. The left's success is more due to the Socialist People's Party (and to a lesser extent Radikale Venstre) doing well.

Likewise in Sweden, it's really the Greens growth who're giving the left marignal leads at the moment. SAP according to which poll you look at is around the same level of support as they had in the election.
