The loss of trust in the CDU/CSU, the major partner in Germany's ruling coalition, continues. The latest public opinion poll conducted by YouGov revealed the vote shares parties would receive if a general election were held this weekend. Accordingly, the right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) would receive 29 percent, CDU/CSU 18 percent, the Greens 16 percent, SPD 13 percent, and the Left Party 10 percent of the votes. The Free Democratic Party (FDP) reached a vote share of 5 percent, and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance 4 percent.

In the public opinion poll conducted by INSA, AfD received 29 percent, CDU/CSU 19.5 percent, the Greens 14 percent, SPD 12.5 percent, and the Left Party 10.5 percent of the votes. FDP had a vote share of 4.5 percent, and BSW 3.5 percent.

According to these poll results, the total vote share of CDU/CSU and SPD, which form the coalition government, dropped to around 30 percent. Since the CDU/CSU has decided not to cooperate with AfD and the Left Party, the possibility of a CDU/CSU, Greens, and SPD partnership remains on the agenda.
