The governing coalition in Germany has reached a new low in voter approval, according to the latest INSA poll.
The survey, conducted weekly for “Bild am Sonntag” reveals a decline for both key parties within the coalition. The Union, comprising the CDU and CSU, registered a 1-percentage-point drop from the previous week, standing at 25 percent. The SPD also experienced a decrease, losing 1 percentage point to reach 14 percent. Combined, the coalition partners currently hold only 39 percent of the electorate’s support, a record low since the federal election on September 26, 2021.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has now tied with the Union, polling at 25 percent, unchanged from the prior week. The Green Party and the Left Party maintained their previous week’s results, measuring at 12 percent and 11 percent respectively.
Based on the survey, the newly formed BSW party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) would not currently be represented in the Bundestag, garnering 4 percent and 3 percent of the vote, respectively. Other parties collectively account for 6 percent of support, an increase of 2 percentage points.
The poll, which surveyed 1,204 individuals between September 8th and 12th, reflects a snapshot of current voter sentiment.
