The coronavirus crisis has made the populist right in Denmark and Norway almost vanish off the map. Can they find a way back after the pandemic? The Danish People s Party now polling at less than a third of the share of the vote it won in 2015. A poll by Voxmeter, published on Monday, gave it the support of just 6.7 percent of the electorate, quite a come down for a party which in 2015 won 21.1 percent of the vote. Over in Norway, a Kantar poll published on May 2 gave the Progress Party just 8 percent of the vote, half what it won in 2017.
