BERLIN, April 9 - Germany’s far-right AfD party topped a major poll for the first time on Wednesday in a sign of growing dissatisfaction with mainstream parties as chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz seeks to seal a coalition government deal.
Support for Merz’s conservative CDU/CSU bloc, which won the February 23 election, fell by five percentage points to 24% while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) gained three points to land on 25%, according to the Ipsos institute’s poll.
The AfD came second in the election, the best performance by a far-right party since World War Two.
Nobody should care for election polls 4 years before the next election.
In my opinion, the trend is pretty damn worrying. The trend has been going on for a long time.
I understand what you mean, the actions done in the last week before an election is what drives the majority of dumb people, but inevitably you gotta plant the seed quite early on, and keep feeding the facts or misinformation (depending on which party is doing it). Sadly desinfornation campaigns have been going on on full blast, but haven’t seen any effective counter actions from Volt, for example, or other parties.
Factual information, education should go on continuously on every possible channel to reach everyone. Yes, even 4 years before the election.
This is not what I said. I am speaking about election polls.
The media is not innocent in the rise of the AfD. Reporting about how strong the AfD is getting is the strategy we use for years now and it just makes the party stronger.
Regarding Volt: I recommend to listen to this interview with the German top candidate of VOLT, I’ll promise you won’t ever think again of wasting your vote for this party
Me trying so hard becoming volt member but them not answering my email: angy
I know what you said. I can read.
And I explained my view, why I disagree with it.
Regarding Volt: please, don’t promise things if you cannot keep your promise.
Just to add a bit of an explanation: all votes going to other parties than the nazis are not wasted. In fact, the more parties receive votes, the better. Best would be an equal share. Diversity is what moves us forward.
No need to get snappish.
You never addressed my points but are discussing about something else.
there are other elections besides the federal ones

Politicians should always care about the political opinions of the population and not only 6 months before elections
Right? I don‘t like the guy but he‘s about to become chancellor for the next 4 years and there is nothing the AfD can do about it. People are shocked to learn this blackrock board member is a selfish liar, (yeah I know, what a surprise…) but he won and doesn‘t have to care about polls all that much right now.
