Was it that with the corona bonus?

In the latest survey, the Union comes to the worst result since the beginning of the corona pandemic.

The SPD is catching up with the Greens.

Berlin - Since the beginning of the

Corona crisis

in spring 2020, the

Union has

consistently achieved good

results

in

surveys

.

At the beginning of the

pandemic in

particular

, the voters surveyed were satisfied with the crisis management of the

CDU *

and

CSU

*

and gave the ruling party their trust in surveys.

A development from which coalition partner

SPD

could only benefit to a limited extent.

Union loses again in survey: worst result since the beginning of the corona pandemic

Almost a year after the beginning of the

pandemic

, this

corona

bonus, which the Union was able to obtain,

seems to have

fizzled out again.

At least according to the latest

survey

that the

opinion research institute

INSA carried out on behalf of the

Bild newspaper

.

According to this, 33.5 percent of those surveyed would vote for the CDU / CSU if there was a

general election

next Sunday

.

A loss of one percentage point.

This would mean that the

Union

would

record

a slight increase in votes compared to the

2017

federal

election (32.9 percent), but

at the same time

the

poll

value

would drop

to its lowest level since March 2020.

The

Union

is thus moving further away from the goal of "35 percent plus x", which was

proclaimed

by

CDU party leader Armin Laschet *

after his election as chairman.

On the other hand, the

SPD

*

, which can

catch up

with

Bündnis90 / Die Grünen *

in the new survey,

gained

ground.

The

Social Democrats

increase by one percentage point and come to 17 percent, while the Greens also slipped by 0.5 percentage points to 17 percent.

Poll for the federal election: No majority for green-red-red

The

Left

*

was also able to record a slight increase and stands at 9 percent.

The

polls

of the

FDP

*

and

AfD

*

remained unchanged at 9 and 10.5 percent, respectively.

The other parties received four percent of the vote.

This result would give both a

government coalition

of the

Union

and the

SPD

, as well as the Union and the Greens, a parliamentary

majority

.

A

green-red-red coalition

of the Greens, the SPD and the Left would

miss

a majority in the

Bundestag

with 43 percent, but it would get more votes than a black-yellow alliance of the Union and FDP (42.5 percent).

However, the differences are so small that with a maximum error tolerance of 2.5 percentage points they are only of limited informative value.
