Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Advance voting for Sweden's general election has reached record levels, with nearly one million people casting ballots before the September 13 polling day. According to data from the Swedish Election Authority, there has been a 40 percent increase in advance voting since August 27 compared to the 2022 national election, when approximately 3.1 million people voted in advance. Meanwhile, a TV4 poll indicates that the election race has tightened with 11 days remaining.
