AfD Holds Narrow Lead as CDU/CSU Gains in Latest Insa Poll

A high share of ballots may not translate into seats under the 5% rule.

Overview

  • Insa’s Sonntagstrend shows AfD at 26% and CDU/CSU at 25%, with the Union up one point week over week.
  • SPD polls at 14%, the Greens at 12%, and The Left at 11%, while FDP and BSW each sit at 4% alongside 4% for others.
  • Roughly 12% of projected votes would fall below the 5% threshold and receive no Bundestag representation.
  • On these numbers, a CDU/CSUSPD majority would not exist, and coalitions involving the AfD or a Union–Left pairing are treated as politically excluded.
  • If FDP and BSW fail to enter parliament, the only workable majority not ruled out would be a CDU/CSUSPD–Greens alliance.
