New polling demonstrates how the German public perceives the relative strengths of the various political parties—including bad news for the current government. The latest survey carried out by pollster Forsa shows that Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is level with the ruling CDU/CSU, with both parties projected to secure 25% of the vote if a snap general election were held. All other parties are significantly behind, but a sizable percentage of declared non- or undecided voters (24%)—up from 17.9% at the last Bundestag election—suggests there could still be all to play for.
