Shortly before the state elections, the ZDF Politbarometer sees the AfD as the strongest force in Thuringia - in Saxony, the CDU can expect to win the election. This is the result of the new survey by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen published on "heute journal". New state parliaments will be elected in both federal states on Sunday.
In Thuringia, the AfD is at 29% in the poll and thus clearly in first place ahead of the CDU with 23% and the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance with 18%. The Left Party, which has Bodo Ramelow as Prime Minister in the federal state, stands at 13%. The SPD could receive 6 percent, while the Greens could miss out on a place in the state parliament with 4 percent. The other parties would receive a total of 7 percent, with no party achieving at least three percent.
"This means that a coalition of CDU, BSW and SPD would currently have a narrow majority, but other coalitions that have not been ruled out would not," it said. In purely mathematical terms, coalitions of AfD and CDU and AfD and BSW would have a majority, but so would a coalition of CDU, BSW and Linke. However, such options were ruled out by either the CDU or the BSW. However, according to the survey, 29% of respondents are not yet sure who and whether they want to vote for.
