The center-right bloc of the CDU and CSU leads the polls at 31%, despite a slight dip, making them the frontrunners in the upcoming elections. This enduring support highlights the party's resilience in post-war German politics, even as dissatisfaction grows with individual candidates.
Dissatisfaction with the parties' leaders is unprecedented, with polls indicating a majority dislike all top candidates. For instance, only 25% of respondents express satisfaction with CDU candidate Friedrich Merz, showcasing a disconnect between party support and candidate approval.
On the other hand, the Greens show a contrasting dynamic where only 14% support the party, yet 28% approve of their candidate, Economic Minister Robert Habeck, possibly indicating a wavering support base.
The emergence of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) polling at 5% suggests a growing influence of populist movements within Germany. This is particularly significant as the traditional parties like the FDP and the Left Party seem to struggle below the five percent threshold.
