Recent polls have shown a wide range of projections for the Bundnis Sahra Wagenknecht, with estimates ranging from four to six percent. As a result, the prospects of the new party entering the next German Bundestag on February 23 have become uncertain once again.
According to a survey published by the infratest dimap opinion research institute on Thursday, the CDU and CSU are leading with 30 percent of the respondents who intend to vote on February 23. The AfD follows with 20 percent and the SPD and Greens are tied in third place with 15 percent each. The Greens have achieved their best result in months.
The FDP and the Left Party, on the other hand, are struggling to meet the five percent threshold required for entry into the Bundestag. The FDP currently has four percent support, while the Left Party has seen a surprising improvement and is now at five percent.
The Bundnis Sahra Wagenknecht has failed to reach the five percent mark in four of the latest polls over the past seven days, with two polls showing six percent and one showing five percent. The Left Party, in contrast, has seen five percent in three of the past two days’ polls. The FDP, meanwhile, has not managed to clear the five percent hurdle in any of the recent polls.
