It is the highest value that has ever been measured for the AfD!

In the Sunday trend, which the opinion research institute INSA collects weekly for BILD am SONNTAG, the right-wing party comes to 22 percent this week. That is two percentage points more than in the previous week and twice as much as a year ago.

“This is the highest value that we have ever measured for this party,” says INSA boss Hermann Binkert to BILD. “The Union remains by far the strongest force, but is only four percentage points ahead of the AfD. The gap has never been so small.”

Concrete: The Union parties lose one point and only get 26 percent. The traffic light parties remain stable at a very low level: the chancellor party SPD comes to 18 percent as in the previous week, the Greens come to 14 percent as in the previous week and the FDP is stagnating at 7 percent. Common result of the traffic light: 39 percent – not enough for a majority in the Bundestag. The left remains at 5 percent, the other parties would collect 8 percent of the votes (-1).

70 percent are dissatisfied

One thing is clear: the people in Germany have been giving the traffic lights and the chancellor bad marks for months. 70 percent are dissatisfied with the work of the federal government and 60 percent with the work of the chancellor (INSA, 1003 respondents).

For the BILD am SONNTAG, the opinion research institute INSA surveyed 1266 people between July 17 and 21, 2023 (TOM). The maximum error tolerance is +/- 2.9 percentage points. Question: If there were federal elections next Sunday, who would you vote for?
