This article is for subscribers only.
Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen enjoyed a small bump in his popularity this month, as speculation persists that he will need to call an early election.
About 20 percent of voters consider Lokke Rasmussen to be the most credible candidate to lead Denmark’s government, according to a poll published by Borsen on Monday. His opponent remains ahead, though her credibility has taken a significant hit. Social Democrat leader Mette Frederiksen is preferred by 35 percent of voters in the category. In September 2015, 58 percent viewed Frederiksen as the most credible of the two, versus Lokke Rasmussen’s 19 percent.
