Survey period: March 14-15, 2023
Number of cases: 1215 Respondents (713 telephone interviews and 502 online interviews)

fluctuation range: 2 percentage points for a share value of 10 percent

Results are rounded to whole percentages to avoid false expectations of precision. Because for all representative surveys, fluctuation ranges must be taken into account. In the case of a survey with 1000 respondents, these amount to around three percentage points for large parties and around one point for smaller parties. In addition, the rounding error is significant for small parties. For these reasons, no party below three percent is shown in the Sunday question.
