The Sunday trend reveals a devastating snapshot for the Union: The party is in the favor of the electorate at a historically low level.
Berlin - For the Union, the descent continues in a current survey.
The Greens, with their candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock, are still at the forefront of voters.
And the FDP is also going up.
The Sunday trend, which is
collected
weekly by the opinion research institute Kantar for the

A historic low point for the CDU / CSU: When asked: "Which party would you vote if there were parliamentary elections next Sunday?", Only 23 percent of those questioned said they were in favor of the current ruling party.
Compared to the previous week, it is a loss of one percentage point.
In the big picture, it's a historically low poll result for the Union.
Regarding the sister parties, the newspaper writes of "the lowest value ever recorded in the history of the Sunday trend."
Sunday trend: Federal Parliament elections 2021 - Union with historically low poll results
With 26 percent - a minus of one percentage point compared to the previous Sunday trend - the party the Greens is still right at the front in the current survey. The Free Democrats are actually flying high. Of the 1910 people surveyed between April 29 and May 5, 12 percent (plus one percentage point on the previous week) said they wanted to tick the Liberals. This is the highest value for the FDP since 2010, writes
Bild am Sonntag
.
The SPD, which is holding its party congress on Sunday with Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, can gain one percentage point within seven days.
This means that the party currently has 13 percent of voters: internal approval.
However, the Social Democrats are still lagging behind the Union and the Greens.
The parties Die Linke (7 percent) and the right-wing populist party AfD (10 percent) remain stable in their values compared to the previous week.
