State election: Survey: AfD still clearly ahead in Saxony-Anhalt

A recent poll conducted by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen for ZDF shows that the AfD, led by Ulrich Siegmund, is leading in the upcoming Saxony-Anhalt state election with 41 percent, ahead of the CDU, led by Sven Schulze, which has 23 percent. The Left party comes in third with 11.5 percent, followed by the SPD with 8.5 percent and the Greens with 6 percent.

If the poll's results translate to election outcomes, the AfD would not achieve an absolute majority, and a coalition government would likely be formed, as is currently the case with the CDU, SPD, and FDP. The poll, which surveyed 1,044 eligible voters from September 1-3, has a margin of error of around 3 percent.
