Nach der Landtagswahl: AfD bleibt laut Umfrage stärkste Partei – CDU/CSU auf Tief

Die AfD bleibt laut YouGov-Umfrage bundesweit vorn, während CDU/CSU einen historischen Tiefstand erreichen. Zugleich aber hält eine Mehrheit der Befragten die Partei weiter für rechtsextrem.

Nach der Landtagswahl: AfD bleibt laut Umfrage stärkste Partei – CDU/CSU auf Tief

A week after the Saxon-Anhalt state elections, the AfD remains the strongest party nationwide according to a YouGov poll. The AfD now stands at 29 percent, up by one percentage point from August. In contrast, CDU and CSU are at an all-time low, with 18 percent support for a Bundestag election next Sunday, two percentage points less than in August.

The Greens have improved by one point to 16 percent. The SPD has also gained one percentage point and is now at 13 percent. The Left has lost two points and is at 10 percent. The FDP remains steady at five percent, while the Sahra Wagenknecht-led BSW has improved to four percent. Despite the AfD's strong position, a majority of respondents still view the AfD as right-wing extremist, with 59 percent believing this, 30 percent disagreeing.

This view has changed little since May 2025. However, the attitude towards the so-called Brandmauer (Bretton Wall) has shifted, with 51 percent now believing other parties should not automatically exclude cooperation with the AfD, up from 44 percent in August. Conversely, 40 percent still support a principled exclusion, down from 46 percent in the previous week.
