Two polls made in July show an ever increasing majority against Norwegian EU membership.

The polls made by Sentio for newspapers Nationen and Klassekampen showed these figures (per cent) for June and July:

………………….Yes……….No……..Don’t know
June 2010…….26.7……..62.5……11.8
July 2010……..25.3……..66.1……..8.6

Only one party, Høyre (Cons.) can muster a small majority for Yes (47 per cent as against 44).

According to another July poll, however, the Yes majority in Høyre has also vanished. The poll made by Nordstat for NRK (the public service TV and radio) only 42 per cent are positive, while 50 per cent are negative. This is the first time ever that Høyre is unable to muster a majority for EU membership among its members.
