AfD Surpasses Union in Latest Sunday Trend Poll Ahead of Bundestag Elections
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has achieved a significant milestone, leading the Union by five percentage points in the latest Sunday trend poll.
According to a representative survey conducted by Insa, the AfD garnered 28 percent support, while the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) fell to 23 percent, marking their lowest approval rating in over four years. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens are tied at 13 percent, contributing to a combined total of only 36 percent for the Union and SPD. The survey, which included 1,200 participants from May 4 to May 8, indicates that both coalition partners have lost approximately one-fifth of their voter base since the February 2025 Bundestag elections, while other parties, including the Left, BSW, and FDP, maintained their previous standings.
