Well the PM who nursed this just lost the election. But I suspect most Fins agree with the decision.

Lost the election (while gaining seats) to a party which has been pro-NATO for longer.
... so she lost the elections, but most Fins support the ascension.
She has not gained as much additional popularity as other parties did.
That is true, but her Party received a higher percentage of votes in this election compared to the last one. If anything, her popularity increased.
Finns always agree with government decisions. If government policy is to stay out of NATO, finns will think that's the sound and rational way. If the government policy is to get into NATO, they will ask the media to support the idea and finns will change their opinion and think it's a splendid idea. Finns think as they are told to, like their neighbours in Russia.
