Sunday question
Survey: Union is adding, AfD loses
A few days before the Chancellor’s election, the Union gains slightly in the Sunday question according to the ZDF polite barometer. The distance from the AfD therefore increases.
Shortly before the planned election of Friedrich Merz (CDU) as Chancellor, the Union is again in first place, according to the ZDF polite barometer. If the Bundestag election would be the next Sunday, the CDU and CSU would come to 27 percent according to the political barometer – an increase of one percentage point compared to the previous barometer in mid -April. The AfD easily falls to 23 percent (-1 percent), but remains the second strongest force.
The SPD therefore remains at 15 percent. The Greens lose a point and reach 11 percent. The left is stable at 10 percent. FDP (4 percent) and BSW (3 percent) remain below the five percent hurdle.
Other current surveys had recently seen the AfD in front of the Union or on par. In a survey by the Forsa Institute for RTL/NTV, the AfD was a few days ago with 26 percent ahead of the Union, which came to 24 percent.

According to Politbarometer, the “Asylum/Refugees” area considers only 12 percent to the most pressing task, “defense” and “climate protection” each. The remaining 2 percent indicated “don’t know”.
Clear attitude required to Trump

Election surveys are generally affected with uncertainties. Among other things, waning party bindings and more and more short -term election decisions make it more difficult for opinion research institutes the weighting of the data collected. Basically, surveys only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not forecasts for any election outputs.
