The study, carried out between August 31st and September 2nd by research company Inizio for Aftonbladet, asked 1261 people if they were willing to help asylum seekers. But comparing this week’s Inizio poll to a similar one from a year ago suggests that willingness to help has reduced. Last year, by comparison, 54 percent said they “definitely” wanted to help and 12 percent said “maybe”. A more dramatic shift has occurred in how many refugees Swedes think should be taken into the country going forward.
