The newly founded alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is the third strongest force in a poll on the so-called Sunday question in Saxony. This is the result of the current Saxony trend of the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR). In response to the question "Which party would you vote for if state elections were held in Saxony next Sunday?", 8.0% of respondents answered BSW. MDR commissioned the poll from the opinion research institute Infratest dimap.
The SPD received 7.0 percent in the Saxony trend - 0.7 percentage points less than in the last state election. The Greens also received 7.0 percent, 1.6 percentage points less than in the last election. Only 4.0% of respondents would currently vote for the Left Party, which would therefore have to worry about entering parliament. In the 2019 state election, the party had 6.4 percentage points more.
While 41% of respondents are satisfied with the work of the current Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU), only 38% are satisfied with the work of the state government made up of Christian Democrats, SPD and Greens.
45% of respondents agreed with the statement "I think the AfD is far-right". Among AfD voters, however, only 5.0 percent agreed. 57% of all respondents agree that the AfD wants to limit the influx of foreigners and refugees (AfD voters 96%). Likewise, 57% of respondents stated that they believe that the AfD does not distance itself enough from far-right positions.
