The National Coalition Party's presidential candidate, Alexander Stubb, is still leading but has lost ground to Pekka Haavisto (Independent/Green), according to Helsingin Sanomat's latest support survey.
The newspaper's latest poll found Stubb receiving 54 percent of support from respondents, with Haavisto getting 46 percent backing.
Respondents were asked whom they would vote for if the second round of the presidential election were held now.
Compared to the paper's previous presidential election poll, Stubb's lead has narrowed by a few percentage points. Last week's HS survey found support for Stubb at 57 percent, and 43 percent for Haavisto.
