Excerpt:
More people support Jimmie Åkesson's Sweden Democrats than any other political group in Sweden, according to a new poll which puts the nationalists in the lead for the first time in history.
The Sweden Democrat party has been gradually rising in popularity since it scored 12.9 percent in the country's last general election in September 2014.
But a survey by pollsters YouGov published in Sweden's Metro newspaper on Thursday suggested that 25.2 percent of those questioned would now vote for the nationalists, who are calling for dramatic cuts in immigration to Sweden.
