Germany's AfD Party Leads Merz's CDU/CSU by 8 Points – Poll

The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is leading Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) bloc by eight percentage points in popularity among Germans, according to an Insa poll conducted for the Bild newspaper this week.

If federal elections were held this weekend, 29% of respondents would vote for the AfD, while 21% would support the CDU/CSU, the July 13-17 poll showed. 

Only 13% of 1,201 respondents would vote for the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which is part of the coalition government.

Under this scenario, the CDU/CSU and SPD would not secure a parliamentary majority without the Greens, who also polled at 13%. 

Another possible coalition could consist of the AfD and the CDU/CSU, but Merz has repeatedly ruled out working with the right-wing party.
