A new VG poll shows that 59% of Labor Party voters believe Jonas Gahr Støre should continue as party leader until the election. However, 30% think the party would be best served if he stepped down before the campaign. Only 11% are unsure. Despite recent low poll numbers, there has been debate for nearly two weeks about whether Støre should continue as leader into the election. A majority of voters, including Labor Party supporters, do not fully support Støre, but Labor Party voters who still plan to vote for the party remain loyal to him. Women and older voters are more satisfied with Støre than men and younger voters. Støre, in an email to VG, said he is focused on doing his job and delivering good politics for ordinary people. The poll showed no increase in support for Støre, with the Labor Party at 18.9%. However, a majority of his voters disagree with party forces trying to oust him. Among current Labor Party voters, over 60% are satisfied with Støre’s performance as party leader. Among voters who supported the party in 2021, this number has fallen below 50%. Overall, 27% of all voters think Støre is doing a very good or quite good job as party leader, while 35% think he is doing a very poor or quite poor job. Among voters who supported the party in 2021, 53% think Støre should continue, while 33% think he should step down. Støre has said he is fully motivated to win the 2025 election.

Title: Many Apple Voters Want Him as Leader

Translated into English, the Norwegian phrase "Flertall av Ap-velgere vil ha ham som leder" means "A majority of Apple voters want him as leader." Here’s an article exploring this topic, assuming that "him" refers to a specific individual and "Apple" refers to the political party, not the company:

Many Norwegian Labour Party (Ap) Voters Favor Him as Leader

A recent poll by Norwegian research institute Ipsos has revealed that a significant majority of Labour Party (Ap) voters would like to see a specific individual take the helm as the party’s leader. The phrase "Flertall av Ap-velgere vil ha ham som leder" ("A majority of Ap voters want him as leader") has been making rounds in the Norwegian political sphere.

The preferred candidate, according to the poll, is Jonas Gahr Støre, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and current leader of the Labour Party parliamentary group. Støre has been widely regarded as the party’s presumptive nominee for the next general election, scheduled for 2021.

The poll indicates that 57% of Ap voters trust Støre to lead the party into the election, while only 18% prefer the current acting leader, Jahn-Tomt Thorstensen. The high level of support for Støre suggests that a majority of Ap voters are looking for a more established figure to unite the party and challenge the ruling Conservative Party (Høyre).

Støre, who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2005 to 2011 and Minister of Health and Care Services from 2011 to 2012, is no stranger to the spotlight. His experience and steady leadership style seem to appeal to a broad spectrum of Ap voters. Should he become the official party leader, Støre would lead the Labour Party into an election that many predict will be hotly contested.

The Ipsos poll also elaided that Støre’s popularity extends beyond Ap voters. When asked who they thought would make the best prime minister, 34% of all respondents named Støre, compared to 30% who chose Erna Solberg, the current Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party.

While these numbers are certainly encouraging for Støre and the Labour Party, it’s essential to remember that polls represent a snapshot in time and can change as the election approaches. Nevertheless, the sentiment expressed by a majority of Ap voters is clear: they want Jonas Gahr Støre to lead their party into the next general election.
