Elly Schlein’s Democratic Party simply cannot make headway in the polls. In the latest SWG poll for the La7 news program directed by Enrico Mentana, Democrats lost 0.1%, going from 19.4% to 19.3%. Is a shift to the left possible? It would seem so, given the contemporary growth of the 5 Star Movement. Giuseppe Conte’s men gained 0.3% in one week, taking them to 16.7% overall. A sensational overtake is no longer a utopia given the progress of recent weeks. Fratelli d’Italia remains firmly in the lead, but loses half a percentage point in seven days, reaching 28.1%. A negative sign also for the League, which goes from 9.4% to 9.2% (-0 .2%), and for the Greens and the Left, which fell to 3.4% (-0.2%).
A positive sign for Forza Italia, which recovers ground and reaches 7.3% (+0.3%). Azione remains stable, remaining at 3.8%, Italia Viva and +Europa are also practically stable: Matteo Renzi’s party loses 0.1% and registers approval of 3.2%, while the latter grows 0.1%, until 2.7%. Fermo Unione Popolare (1.4%), while Per l’Italia con Paragone moves away, rising to 1.8% (+0.2%). Down 0.1% for us moderates, which is about one percent. The percentage of those who do not express themselves is decreasing, from 39% last week to 37% this week.
