Editing Sweden Democrats (section)

=== Voter demography ===
According to [[Statistics Sweden]]'s (SCB) 2017 party preference survey, the Sweden Democrats (SD) have a stronger support among men than among women. There is no noticeable difference in support for the party among different age groups. The support for SD is greater among native born than among foreign born. Since 2014 the SD has substantially increased its support among both foreign-born and foreign-background voters, becoming the third largest party in Sweden also among this demographic by 2017.<ref name="svt.se">{{Cite news|date=7 June 2017|title=SD ökar kraftigt bland väljare med utländsk bakgrund|language=sv|work=SVT|url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/sd-okar-kraftigt-bland-utrikes-fodda}}</ref> Sympathies are greater for the party among persons with primary and secondary education than among those with a higher education.<ref name="SCB2017"/>
