Survey: Greens fall to lowest level in six years

Berliner Zeitung Survey: Greens fall to lowest level in six years AFP/BLZ • 59 million • 1 minute reading time The Greens have fallen to their lowest level since June 2018 in the Insa "Sunday trend". According to the survey, which is carried out weekly on behalf of Bild am Sonntag, the party only has eleven percent of the vote, one percentage point less than in the previous week and the worst result in six years. According to Insa boss Hermann Binkert, this corresponds to a loss of more than two million votes compared to the 2021 federal election. Overall, according to the survey, the parties in the traffic light coalition remain far from a government majority: the SPD received 16 percent, as in the previous week, and the FDP five. This means that the current governing parties would only receive 32 percent of the vote in total if the Bundestag were to be elected on Sunday. According to the survey, the CDU and CSU remain by far the strongest force, receiving 31 percent of the vote (plus one percentage point). For the first time in three months, the AfD gained one percentage point to 17 percent, while the Sahra Wagenknecht coalition lost one point and reached seven percent. The Left (three percent) and the Free Voters (two percent) would clearly miss out on entering the Bundestag. The opinion research institute Insa surveyed 1,205 people from Monday to Friday. The maximum margin of error was given as plus/minus 2.9 percentage points.
