Both parties therefore have 26 percent among the under 30s – the left was able to increase its result from 2020 by twelve percentage points. The SPD loses one percentage point.
The Greens are particularly high in this age group: According to the analysis, they lose eleven percentage points compared to the last election and end up in third place.

The Social Democrats of Mayor Peter Tschentscher had scored there with “expertise, high reputation and an outstanding top candidate”.
According to the analysis, the Union and the AfD could “hardly score in terms of content”. In the major city, both parties still have “large structural deficits”. The CDU has increased significantly, but was comparatively weak in Hamburg.
About 83 percent of the respondents also believe that the AfD “does not fit a cosmopolitan city like Hamburg”. With the topic of refugee and asylum, the party was less able to profile itself than elsewhere.
