Overview
- The Left jumps to 19% in Berlin polls, securing second place behind the CDU and making a red-green-red coalition under its leadership the only majority option.
- Only 26% of respondents approve of the current Berlin government and just 29% back Mayor Kai Wegner’s leadership.
- A Civey survey finds the AfD at a record 22% in Bavaria, narrowing the gap with Markus Söder’s CSU, which stands at 39%.
- In Sachsen-Anhalt, the CDU leads with 34% while the AfD climbs to 30%, leaving Greens and FDP below the 5% threshold and fracturing existing coalition math.
- Persistent voter discontent over economic and governance issues is reshaping state-level alliances and raising the prospect of unexpected multi-party configurations.
