Sixty percent of voters want Sweden to take in fewer refugees than it currently does, according to an opinion poll. Conversely, more people think immigration is an overall benefit to Sweden than those who think it is detrimental.
Six out of ten people who participated in the poll, carried out by market research firm Ipsos on behalf of newspaper Dagens Nyheter, said that Sweden should accept fewer refugees than current numbers.

41 percent said that they would prefer significantly fewer refugees to be accepted, while 19 percent said they would take a slightly lower number.
12 percent answered that they think Sweden should accept more refugees than it currently does, the poll found.
When the same survey was conducted in 2015, prior to the peak in refugee arrivals in Europe later that year, 36 percent said they would like to reduce the number of refugees taken in by Sweden, compared with 26 percent who said they would increase the figure.
“This is a dramatic change, not least because it has happened so quickly,” Marie Demker, professor in political science at the University of Gothenburg, told Dagens Nyheter.
The impression of the effect of immigration on Sweden has also changed in the newest poll.
The proportion of responders who said they thought immigration had an overall positive effect on Sweden shrank from 63 to 44 percent, while the opposite proportion, of those who said immigration was bad for the country overall, grew from 13 to 31 percent.
The survey was conducted from February 9th-19th this year via online interviews with 1,030 voters selected by a randomising programme.
We all know that the polls on immigrants do not transform into votes in California, although Sweden is a far cry from California so the comparison is moot.
The other four said: kill the infidel!
Just beat me to it.
Just 6?
“Six out of ten voters in Sweden want fewer refugees: poll”
The 4 are as dumb as our democrats.Actuallu, we have more dumb ones than they do.
The good news is only 12% think that Sweden should increase the number of refugees that are taken in. So 12% are either pinheads or refugees and terrorists.
Have they elected a government that they cannot unelect? Are they too attached to their benefits that they willingly put up with getting raped?
And in 3 years the population is trending against instead of for. That is good news
The Arabian stallion is already out of the barn and galloping away on this one.
What percentage would prefer removal?
It’s hard to believe that the ancestors of the Swedes, Vikings, would have made short work of these invaders. You would not know it looking at the Swedes now.
If it isn’t in the article I don’t know.
Too bad they probably won’t be allowed to vote on that.
Europe is run by Feminism and a rapidly growing Islamic demographic. The rape of Europe has many connotations.
Of course not, the EU trumps all.
So, vote out the bums.
As I mentioned before, the EU trumps all. They need a SwedeEx.
The real percentage of anti immigrant Swedes may be higher. It’s dangerous to give such opinions in Europe. None of it will mean anything unless they vote Sweden Democrat, the only anti immigrant party on the September ballot.
Swedex.
Well the Swedes certainly are ‘very’ late in the game to be complaining now.......they’ve been throwing open their doors for decades!
