SPD Tops Saarland Poll as CDU Falls Behind AfD

A new Infratest Dimap survey shows shifting party support that changes which coalitions are viable in the run‑up to the April 18, 2027 Landtag vote.

Weniger als ein halbes Jahr vor der Landtagswahl im Saarland sieht eine Umfrage die regierende SPD von Ministerpräsidentin Anke Rehlinger klar vorn. Die Sozialdemokraten kämen auf 33 Prozent, wie die Erhebung für den Saarländischen Rundfunk ergab.

Overview

  • The Saarlandtrend published Wednesday found the SPD at 33 percent, a six‑point rise since December 2025, making it the clear poll leader but still short of an outright majority.
  • The AfD reached 21 percent to place second while the CDU fell to a record low 20 percent in this series, marking the first time the CDU trails the AfD in the Saarlandtrend.
  • Greens (9 percent) and The Left (6 percent) would clear the 5 percent threshold to enter the Landtag while the FDP and BSW at 3 percent would be excluded, which narrows coalition options.
  • The survey shows Ministerpräsidentin Anke Rehlinger with strong personal ratings — 62 percent satisfied and 54 percent preferred in a hypothetical direct vote — bolstering SPD strength.
  • The poll, conducted by Infratest Dimap from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1 with 1,269 respondents, is a snapshot with sampling margins and implies that only SPD–CDU or a three‑party SPD–Left–Green coalition would command a majority.
