Four elections will be held in Germany this year. Meanwhile, the AfD has to accept further losses in polls.
The AfD continues its decline in popularity. According to the current Sunday trend from the polling institute Insa on behalf of “Bild”, the AfD is now only at 17 percent with a view to next year’s federal election. Compared to last week’s survey, this means a minus of one percentage point. At the beginning of the year, the AfD’s Sunday trend was 23 percent.
Only the Greens can record an increase. At 13 percent, the party is one percentage point above the result of the previous survey. The Union remains at 30 percent and can therefore assert itself as the strongest force in the Insa survey. Behind the AfD, the SPD is in third place with 15 percent.

The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance comes to seven percent. The FDP cracks the hurdle for re-entry into the Bundestag with five percent, while the Left would have to tremble about re-entering the Bundestag with four percent in the survey. The Free Voters achieved a result of two percent, the other parties ended up with a total of seven percent.
Traffic light leaders are poorly evaluated
Since the scandal surrounding a secret meeting at which AfD representatives discussed plans for “remigration” with right-wing extremists, the party has fallen in favor with voters. Recently, connections between AfD politicians and Russia and China were discovered. Here you can read more about it.

The survey participants consistently rated the work of the traffic light coalition’s managers poorly. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) only achieved 26 percent approval, while 65 percent rated his work as poor. Vice Chancellor and Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens, 30 percent approval) and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP), whose work was rated “good” by 28 percent of those surveyed, achieved slightly better results.
Several elections will be held this year. The European elections are coming up in June. In September, citizens in Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia will re-elect their respective state parliaments.
