According to the latest polls, the AfD is on the way to becoming the strongest force in Brandenburg. If the state parliament were elected in Potsdam this Sunday, the AfD would get 25 percent.
In Brandenburg, the AfD is ahead of the ruling SPD for the first time since the 2019 state elections. According to the Brandenburg trend of the Insa institute for “Bild” on Tuesday, the AfD would currently get 25 percent in the Sunday question and thus overtake the SPD, which would get 22 percent.
According to the survey, the CDU was 17 percent, the Greens reached 11 percent, and the left came to 10 percent. The Free Voters would still be represented in the state parliament with 5 percent, the FDP would fail with 4 percent at the five percent hurdle.
In the Brandenburg state elections around three years ago, the SPD held its own with 26.2 percent, well ahead of the AfD with 23.5 percent. The CDU had come to 15.6 percent, the Greens were 10.8 percent and the left reached 10.7 percent. The free voters were 5.0 percent, the FDP came to 4.1 percent.
In polls before the state elections, the AfD was already ahead of the SPD. In the latest “Brandenburg Trend” by Infratest dimap for Antenne Brandenburg and the rbb magazine “Brandenburg aktuell” at the end of September this year, the AfD drew level with the SPD. Both parties came to 24 percent each in the Sunday question. The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified the AfD Brandenburg as a suspected right-wing extremist in 2020.
In the state elections in Lower Saxony on Sunday, the AfD improved from 6.2 to 10.9 percent. Against the background of the current energy crisis, it was able to make significant gains again for the first time after several electoral defeats in a row.
