Next survey shock for the Chancellor’s party: According to the ARD Germany trend, the SPD has to fear for its status as the second strongest force. 18 percent of those surveyed can imagine voting for the partially right-wing AfD in the federal elections.
If there were a federal election next Sunday, the SPD would only get 18 percent of the votes. This is the result of the current ARD “Germany trends” from Thursday. The governing party is thus on par with the AfD and would no longer be the sole second-strongest political force in Germany.
SPD loses on Sunday question, AfD wins
The Social Democrats lose one percentage point compared to the survey from early May, and the AfD gains two. The right-wing populist party, which is partly right-wing extremist, achieved the best value in the history of the “Germany trend”.

Things are also looking less rosy for the second strongest traffic light party. The Greens lose one percentage point and come to 15 percent in the survey. The FDP remains at seven percent. The governing coalition would once again lose a majority in parliament.
According to the survey, the strongest force remains the Union. 29 percent of voters would tick the CDU or CSU, one point less than in the previous month. The left also loses a point and would now fail at the five percent hurdle with four percent.
