CDU/CSU Edge AfD Nationally as Brandenburg SPD and CDU Move Toward Coalition Talks

Polling highlights anxiety over NATO under President Trump alongside broad resistance to AfD holding top state offices.

Overview

  • ZDF Politbarometer shows CDU/CSU at 26 percent, AfD at 25, SPD at 15, Greens at 12, and the Left at 10, leaving no majority for a black-red alliance.
  • Seventy-eight percent of respondents say Trump’s policies endanger NATO, and 69 percent want the EU to oppose U.S. military actions seen as resource-driven.
  • Most Germans reject an AfD minister-president in states such as Saxony-Anhalt or Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with 69 percent calling that a bad outcome.
  • In Brandenburg, an Insa poll after the SPD/BSW breakup puts AfD at 34 percent, SPD at 25, CDU at 13, and finds 68 percent of voters favor new elections.
  • Brandenburg SPD and CDU leaders will ask party committees to open formal coalition negotiations as Dietmar Woidke continues with a minority government and declines a snap vote.
