Netherlands: poll shows sharp drop in Socialist Party support

A second opinion poll in the Netherlands has shown a sharp drop in support for the Socialist Party in the wake of the first television debate between the four main party leaders.

The SP, which had been outperforming the right-wing VVD in most polls, lost eight seats in the latest Intomart Gfk poll for television current affairs show EenVandaag.

The poll said Emile Roemer's party would win 30 of the 150 seats in parliament if there was a general election tomorrow, down around 25% on a week ago. The VVD, led by prime minister Mark Rutte, also dropped two seats to 33 but becomes the biggest party.
