Parties: Insa survey: Wagenknecht party gains ground

According to the Insa survey, the Union remains the strongest force. One party continues to lose ground and another gains.

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) has continued to gain ground in an Insa survey and is currently at nine percent. This means it has gained one percentage point in the survey for “Bild am Sonntag” compared to the previous week and has reached the highest value that the opinion research institute has measured so far for the party, which was only founded in January. Wagenknecht’s former party, Die Linke, has continued to drop and is now at just two percent (minus one point). In the ZDF “Politbarometer” published on Friday by the research group Wahlen, the BSW is at seven percent and Die Linke at three percent.

Union remains the strongest force

The strongest party in the Insa survey remains the Union with 30 percent. The AfD follows at a considerable distance with 17 percent, the SPD with 15 percent and the Greens with 12 percent, whose figures also remain stable. The FDP gains one point and comes in at six percent. The Free Voters are also at two percent, the other parties together at seven percent.

Insa interviewed 1,203 people for the survey. The institute states a statistical error tolerance of 2.9 percentage points for the results.

Election polls are generally always subject to uncertainty. Among other things, declining party ties and increasingly short-term voting decisions make it more difficult for opinion research institutes to weight the data collected. In principle, polls only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not predictions of the election outcome.
