Only 23 days to go until the Styrian regional elections - the parties are getting nervous. The "Krone" barometer shows the current mood. The trend is pointing slightly downwards for some parties, but nothing has changed in terms of the major favorites.

The parties are starting the state parliament election month with great tension, which is also reflected in the "Steirerkrone" election barometer. There is even nervousness among the FPÖ, which - if the opinion polls are to be believed - can hardly shake off first place in the election on the 24th.
