The AfD has further extended its lead over the ruling CDU in a new poll. If state elections were held on Sunday, the AfD would receive 37% of the vote - three percentage points more than in the previous month - according to a survey conducted by the polling institute Civey on behalf of the "Sächsische Zeitung" and "Leipziger Volkszeitung". The CDU would therefore receive 27 percent (-1). The SPD, as a coalition partner, would have to worry about entering the state parliament with 5 percent (-1). The Left Party would remain unchanged at 10%, the BSW at 8% (-1) and the Greens would stagnate at 6%.
According to Civey, the survey is representative and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. The underlying sample was collected online between September 21 and October 5.
