State election: CDU in Saxony-Anhalt falls further behind in polls
The AfD is further increasing its lead over the CDU just before the state election. However, this is not enough for a sole government. Forming a government is likely to be difficult.
A recent poll by Infratest Dimap shows that the AfD is leading in Saxony-Anhalt with 42%, a one-point increase from late July. The CDU, led by Minister-President Sven Schulze, has dropped to 22%, a two-point decrease from July and 15 points down from the 2021 state election. The Left, SPD, and Greens would also be represented in the state parliament, while the BSW and FDP would not meet the 5% threshold.
The poll results may lead to a debate within the CDU about its stance on cooperation with the Left and its "brandmauer" against the AfD.
