“Charm offensive” for the Finland election – Alexander Stubb with a slight lead. At 27.2 percent, only a very thin lead separates him from his opponent and Green Party politician Pekka Haavisto.

A playoff between him and the Green candidate is pending. Stubb's success in the Finnish elections could be due to his easy-going nature. “The poll results are looking good right now, I’m not denying that,” Stubb said.
