Current German Electoral Trends: AfD Leads in Polls Ahead of 2025 Bundestagswahl
Recent polling data indicates that the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has surpassed the Union (CDU/CSU) in voter support, potentially receiving 28% of the votes if elections were held this Sunday.
The AfD’s rise marks a significant shift, with a lead of approximately five to six percentage points over the CDU/CSU, reflecting the largest gap recorded to date. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has seen a decline to around 12%, while the Greens have gained traction, polling at about 14% following a recent state election victory. Both the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the BSW are currently below the critical five-percent threshold, indicating a low likelihood of parliamentary representation. These polls, based on responses from approximately 1,000 individuals, serve as a snapshot of public sentiment and are subject to change before the next scheduled election in early 2029.
