Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, faces dwindling trust among voters, with a Novus poll revealing a four-point drop following a controversial report by Kalla fakta.

This setback has pushed Åkesson to fourth place in the trust rankings, overtaken by Nooshi Dadgostar of the Left Party.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Magdalena Andersson of the Social Democrats hold the top trust positions.

Åkesson attributes the EU election disappointment to voter turnout issues, as the party plans for an in-depth analysis.
