The Union is expanding its lead and is well ahead of the SPD. The AfD overtakes the Greens and is the third strongest force. The traffic light coalition is losing approval.
According to a new survey, the Union can extend its lead in favor with the voters. If there were a federal election on Sunday, the CDU/CSU would reach 30 percent in the representative survey by the opinion research institute YouGov, two percentage points more than in March.
The SPD remains unchanged at 20 percent. The Greens lose a point to 15 percent. As in the previous month, the AfD is 17 percent and thus ahead of the Greens. The FDP remains at 6 percent. The left achieved the same result, one percentage point less than in March.
With 41 percent, the traffic light coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP would not currently achieve a majority. 68 percent of those surveyed are very or somewhat dissatisfied with the work of the alliance. Only a minority of 26 percent said they were very or rather satisfied. 57 percent perceive the traffic light coalition as divided. Only 12 percent attest to a closed demeanor.
Nevertheless, most Germans do not believe that the government alliance will collapse any time soon. Only 19 percent consider a new Bundestag election “in the next few months” to be likely. 67 percent do not believe this.
