The United Minds-Cint poll, published in the Aftonbladet daily, handed the Sweden Democrats (SD) a record 6.5 percent support -- well above the four percent threshold for entering parliament. ... With less than a percentage point difference between the two main blocs, the right-wing SD party, which has never before made it into parliament, would likely become the kingmaker of the election, observers said.

These kinds of polls always underestimate the support for "extreme right-wing" parties. (Although in reality, SD is basically a moderate right-of-center party)

I wouldn't be surprised if their real support were closer to 10%.
