These are the results of a survey conducted by the sociological institute INSA especially for the newspaper BILD am SONNTAG.
If the Bundestag elections were held today, 17% of voters would vote for the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany. The last time the party’s rating rose so high was five years ago. BILD calls this result “shocking.”
Two weeks ago, the far right became the most popular party in East Germany. There, their rating in INSA polls was 26%.
At the all-German level, the ruling “traffic light” coalition of the SPD, the Greens and the VDP in total only 43% of the votes. In the last elections to the Bundestag, this figure was 52%. The most popular conservative block CDU/CSU (28%). He is currently in opposition.
As BILD columnist Eric Trumper writes, the AfD’s high popularity “makes the East ungovernable”: if the AfD does get so many votes in the elections, it will be impossible to form state governments without it. In the meantime, no party is ready to enter into a coalition with the far right.
