Only six months after forming the new governing coalition, the popularity of the left-wing Brandenburg state government has dramatically tanked.
If there were a state election next Sunday, at least four parties would be needed for a coalition to form a government without the AfD’s participation, a new poll published on Wednesday, June 25th, found.
According to the survey conducted on behalf of RBB24, Brandenburg aktuell, and Antenne Brandenburg by the opinion research institute Infratest dimap, AfD would receive a whopping 32% of the vote. The ruling Social Democrats (SPD) could expect 23%, the CDU 14%, and the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) coalition 9%.
By comparison, in the state elections in September 2024, the SPD received 30.9%, meaning it now down around eight percentage points.
The AfD, on the other hand, reached an all-time high, last seen in a Forsa poll in January 2024. In the state elections, it ‘only’ achieved 29%.
