The upcoming Swiss vote on the pension reform, scheduled for September 22, has revealed a divided public opinion, as shown by conflicting survey results.

An SRG poll indicates a narrow majority of 49% in favor, while a Tamedia survey shows 59% opposition.

The discrepancy is attributed to different methodologies and the timing of the surveys, with the Tamedia poll conducted shortly after a significant error in AHV financial projections was revealed, potentially affecting public trust.

The reform aims to adjust the conversion rate and expand coverage for lower-income workers, but faces criticism for potentially reducing pensions.

The debate is further complicated by political divides, with left-wing parties generally opposing the reform, while some right-wing supporters remain unconvinced.

As the vote approaches, both sides are intensifying their campaigns to sway undecided voters.
