State election: SPD in NRW just ahead of the CDU

On May 15, around 13 million eligible voters in North Rhine-Westphalia are called upon to elect a new state parliament. According to a recent survey, the Social Democrats could emerge as the election winners.

According to a survey four weeks before the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, the SPD is just ahead of the CDU of the incumbent Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst.

In the NRW trend, which the opinion research institute Insa collected for the “Bild am Sonntag”, the Social Democrats with their top candidate Thomas Kutschaty come to 31 percent. The CDU reached 29 percent. The Greens are therefore 14 percent, the FDP 10 percent, the AfD 7 percent and the left 4 percent. The black-yellow government coalition would only get 39 percent, and the left would again miss the entry into the state parliament.

Election polls are generally always subject to uncertainties. Among other things, declining party ties and increasingly short-term voting decisions make it difficult for the opinion research institutes to weight the data collected. In principle, surveys only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not a forecast of the outcome of the election. A new state parliament will be elected in North Rhine-Westphalia on May 15th.
