STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's centre-left opposition parties remain well ahead of the governing coalition and the Social Democrats, Green and Left parties would get a combined 48.7 percent of the vote if an election were held now, an opinion poll showed on Saturday.

The Sifo poll, published by the Svenska Dagbladet daily, showed support for the opposition down 0.6 percentage point from the previous survey in mid-August, while support for the government bloc was down 0.5 percent.
