A new survey sees the AfD at 18 percent. It achieves its best value in the ARD “Deutschlandtrend” and is on a par with the Social Democrats.
According to a new survey, the Alternative for Germany party has drawn level with the SPD, making it the second strongest political force in Germany together with the Social Democrats.
In the new ARD “Germany trend” the AfD gains two percentage points and would be elected by 18 percent if there were a general election on Sunday. In the Infratest dimap survey, the SPD has lost one percentage point to 18 percent compared to the survey at the beginning of May. The Union is clearly the strongest force with 29 percent (-1). The Greens lose a point and come to 15 percent, the weakest value since September 2021. The FDP remains at 7 percent. The left missed the five percent hurdle with 4 percent (-1).
According to ARD, this is the best value for the AfD in the Sunday question in the “Deutschlandtrend”. Only in September 2018 had the party reached this value once. For two-thirds of AfD supporters, immigration plays a major role when asked about the three most important issues. 32 percent of AfD supporters say they want to vote for the party out of conviction, 67 percent out of disappointment with the other parties.
