State Elections: Final Stretch in MV and Berlin - Close Races at the Top
The parties are gearing up for the final stretch of the election campaign in the northeast and the capital. New polls give some cause for hope, while others are worried. In any case, they do not bode well for the CDU of Chancellor Merz.
New polls in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin show tight races ahead of Sunday's elections. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the SPD led by Minister-President Manuela Schwesig has taken the lead with 37% over the AfD with 36%. In Berlin, the Left party led by Elif Eralp is narrowly ahead of the CDU with Stefan Evers, with 22% and 20% respectively. The elections could have significant implications for Chancellor Friedrich Merz's future.
