Support for the nationalist Danish People’s Party has fallen to a seven-year low amid signs that voters are growing less anxious about the number of immigrants in their country.
As Danes prepare for national elections on June 5, a poll published in the Borsen newspaper puts backing for the anti-immigration, euroskeptic DPP at just 10.8%, compared with 21.1% in the 2015 election. Danes are now more worried about the environment than they are about immigrants, according to a separate European Union survey. Immigration only ranks fourth.
