I've been doing a little research and it appears that this wasn't the great rejection of the populism movement that it's being made out to be. True they pulled a couple of points lower this time around than they did a few months ago, but overall the trend seems to be going their way.

In the 1999 legislative election the FPÖ won 26.9% of the vote, its best-ever result in a nationwide election,

So in 1999 27% was a record for this "FPO". But now they are getting mid to upper 40's. That's an improvement of about 20 percentage points. Sounds like the Barbarians are at the gates and the people inside are celebrating because the battering ram hasn't quite broken through just yet.
