There are elections in three eastgerman states this autumn.

[Focus] It remains a close neck-and-neck race between the CDU and AfD in Saxony. A good two weeks before the state election, both parties are lonely at the top. The traffic light parties, on the other hand, face the worst-case scenario.

A close race between the AfD and the CDU is emerging for the state election in Saxony on September 1. According to an Insa election poll commissioned by the “Sächsische Zeitung”, “Leipziger Volkszeitung” and “Freier Presse”, the AfD would receive 32% of the vote, followed by the CDU with 29%. Behind them, the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance appears to be establishing itself as the third strongest force in the Free State. It would receive 15 percent of the vote from a standing start.

According to the survey, the other parties would have to worry about entering the state parliament. The CDU's current coalition partners, the SPD and the Greens, are each at 5%, as is the Left Party. For the FDP, with currently 2 percent of the vote, it would again not be enough. The Free Voters are now just below the five percent hurdle with 4 percent.
27 percent “certain” to vote for AfD

27% of Saxons stated that they were “certain” in their decision to vote for the AfD. This figure is 23% for the CDU and 12% for the BSW. At the same time, the Greens and the AfD were rejected the most by Saxon voters. 57% stated that they could not imagine voting for the Greens. For the AfD, the figure for this statement was 46%.

In the last poll on August 9, the CDU was ahead with 34%. The AfD achieved 30 percent. The BSW came in third place with 11%. The SPD and Greens came in at 6% each, while the Left Party only achieved 4%.

---------------


By these numbers, if they would materialise: AfD + BSW = 47%.
