Frederiksen tipped for third term as Denmark votes
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen seeks a third term amid a cost-of-living crisis and a Greenland dispute, with her party polling at 20.9% after a recent rebound, Megafon shows.
- On March 24, 2026, Denmark holds a snap parliamentary election with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, age 48, seeking a third term as over a dozen parties contest all 179 Folketing seats.
- After slipping in local polls, Frederiksen's support later rebounded from about 17% to 20.9% in Megafon polling following the Greenland dispute, prompting an early election call.
- Megafon polling shows narrow bloc margins as the Red Bloc is projected at 86 seats, the Blue Bloc at 78, and the Moderates and four overseas seats could tip the balance.
- The election outcome will influence domestic tax and welfare policy as Social Democrats plan a tax on personal assets above 25 million kroner amid Danish voters concerned about cost-of-living and the outgoing three-party coalition’s food cheque measure.
- The Greenland dispute has dominated international coverage as tensions with the US over threats to annex Greenland, compounded by long-standing grievances, boost Frederiksen’s profile abroad.
