People carefully rejoice at the Social Democrats' election watch as Sweden's left-wing bloc, led by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats, was credited with a slim lead in Sunday's general election in exit polls. The four left-wing parties were credited with 50.6 percent of voter support in an exit poll published on TV4 compared to 48 percent for the four parties on the right, while a second exit poll on public broadcaster SVT gave the left 49.8 percent and the right 49.2 percent. Both polls suggested the far right could become the country's second-biggest party for the first time. IMAGES
