One week before the state elections in Thuringia and Saxony, a survey conducted by the Insa Institute for the "Bild" newspaper puts the AfD ahead in both states. According to the pollsters' results, no government majorities are currently possible without the participation of the BSW or the AfD.
In Saxony, the AfD has 32 percent, putting it ahead of the CDU (30 percent). According to the survey, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) achieved 15 percent, the SPD 6 percent and the Greens 5 percent. The Left Party would leave the Dresden state parliament with 4 percent. The Free Voters (Freie Wähler) would achieve 3 percent and the Others, such as the FDP, 5 percent. A majority without the participation of the AfD would therefore only be possible with the BSW.
In neighboring Thuringia, according to the Insa survey commissioned by "Bild", the AfD is ahead in voter favor with 30 percent, followed by the CDU (21 percent) and the BSW (20 percent). The Left Party has 14% and the SPD 6%. The FDP and Greens would miss out on re-entering the state parliament with 3% each. The other parties stand at 3%.
