State election on 6 September: AfD, SPD and Greens gain in polls in Saxony-Anhalt
In a new poll by Infratest dimap, the AfD is at 42 percent in Saxony-Anhalt. But SPD and the Greens are also gaining. An AfD government on its own would not be possible in such a scenario.
A recent poll by Infratest dimap for ARD shows that the AfD is leading in Saxony-Anhalt with 42%, one percentage point more than in July. The CDU, led by Minister-President Sven Schulze, is in second place with 22%, having lost 2 percentage points since the last poll. The Landtag election is set to take place on 6 September, with the current CDU-SPD-FDP government facing a challenge from the AfD.
According to the poll, 11% of voters are still undecided, and the AfD would not have a majority on its own. If the election were held today, CDU leader Schulze would narrowly win a direct vote against AfD's Ulrich Siegmund, with 41% to 39%.
