Over the past week, Germany’s leading political forces have maintained their levels of support. The conservative CDU/CSU bloc remains the frontrunner two months ahead of the Bundestag’s early elections.
This is according to a recent poll conducted by Insa for the newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
The CDU/CSU, led by Friedrich Merz, has 31% support among German voters—the same as last week. It is followed by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) with an unchanged 20%.
The ratings of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) have slightly shifted, dropping by one percentage point to 16%. Meanwhile, the Greens gained one percentage point, securing 13% support.
The far-left political project “Alliance of Sahra Wagenknecht” is also projected to surpass the 5% electoral threshold, with Insa predicting 7%. However, the Free Democrats (FDP) with 4% and the Left Party with 3% would not make it into the Bundestag.
As is known, at the end of December, Germany’s Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced the dissolution of parliament, paving the way for early elections on February 23, 2025.
This decision followed a vote of no confidence in Olaf Scholz’s government, whose three-party coalition collapsed in early November.
