With six months to go until state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) remains the clear frontrunner, polling at 38% in a new INSA survey—13 points ahead of the CDU on 25%.
The figures mark a slight decline of one point for both parties, while the Left Party has gained ground, rising to 13%.
Support for smaller parties remains weak, with the SPD at 6%, the Greens at 4%, and the FDP at 3%, leaving the latter two below the 5% threshold required to enter the state parliament. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) sits on the threshold at 5%.
The results point to a fragmented political landscape, with several parties at risk of missing out on representation. Other parties and lists account for a combined 6%.
In the race for minister-president, incumbent Sven Schulze (CDU), who took office in January 2026, leads narrowly on 29%, ahead of AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund on 27%.
