Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany party came in second in the popularity rankings with 18 percent of the vote, Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported on July 7, citing data from the Insa Institute for Public Opinion Research’s Sonntagstrend survey.
According to the paper, the CDU/CSU bloc remains in first place in public opinion polls with 30 percent support.
The Social Democratic Party of Germany is reported to still have the support of 15% of respondents, while other “traffic light” parties lost one point each: the Greens received 11%, the Free Democratic Party of Germany, 5%.
It should also be noted that the Sarah Wagenknecht Union was ahead of the FDP with 9% and only slightly behind the Greens, while the Left Party repeated last week’s result and received only 2%. The other German parties together received 10% of the votes of those surveyed, the newspaper reports.
“Twelve percent of the vote goes to parties that do not exceed the five percent threshold. This means that the parliamentary majority exceeds 44 percent. A “black-red” coalition of the CDU/CSU and the SPD with 45 percent and a “Jamaican” coalition of the CDU/CSU, the “Greens” and the FDP with 46 percent is therefore still possible.” — Herman Binkert, CEO of Insa, commented on the results of the survey.
