Traffic light parties are losing approval – survey

BERLIN (Dow Jones) — In the current INSA opinion trend for the newspaper Bild (Tuesday edition), the Greens (21 percent) lose one percentage point. SPD (18.5 percent) and FDP (7.5 percent) each lose half a point. The left (5.5 percent) wins half a point, the AfD (13 percent) wins a full point. CDU/CSU (28 percent) keep their value from the previous week. Other parties come together to 6.5 percent (+ 0.5).

All traffic light parties lose and together they only get 47.5 percent and thus only a very narrow parliamentary majority. Black-Green would have a clearer parliamentary majority with 49 percent. A Germany coalition of Union, SPD and FDP would get a clear majority of votes with 54 percent.

“It’s getting tight for the traffic lights and Olaf Scholz. The Greens can no longer detach themselves from the negative trend of the traffic lights,” Bild quoted INSA boss Hermann Binkert as saying.

For the INSA opinion trend on behalf of Bild, a total of 2091 citizens were surveyed from August 19th to 22nd, 2022. The maximum statistical error tolerance is +/- 2.4 percentage points.
