The SPD continues to grow in the polls for the federal election in 2021 and is six percentage points ahead of the Union.
The greens continue to slide.
Berlin - While the Union wants to demonstrate unity and solidarity at the CSU party convention in Nuremberg in order to get Armin Laschet out of the poll two and a half weeks before the 2021 federal election, the SPD is expanding
its lead
in an INSA survey commissioned by
Bild am Sonntag
.
The Social Democrats would also be the strongest force in this latest survey if there were parliamentary elections next Sunday (Sunday question).
Federal election 2021: SPD extends survey lead - six points ahead of the Union
Shortly before the second chancellor triall, 26 percent of those surveyed stated that they wanted to vote for the SPD.
The result of the Social Democrats' polls has thus improved by one percentage point compared to the last INSA poll.
This means that the party of Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz is now six percentage points ahead of the Union, which is stagnating at 20 percent.
Meanwhile far behind, the Greens land in third place in the survey.
15 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for the party of Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock.
The Greens have lost one percentage point compared to the last poll and are now nine percentage points below the party's polling records in May, when they took first place on a par with the Union.
Survey on the 2021 federal election: majority for grand coalition
The FDP cannot improve its poll numbers and reaches 13 percent.
The AfD loses a percentage point and comes to 11 percent.
Just like the left, which also lost a percentage point and reached six percent.
Nine percent of those surveyed said they would vote for another party - an increase of two percentage points.
With these polls, the grand coalition of the SPD and the Union would again be able to achieve a parliamentary majority - but then under the leadership of the Social Democrats.
A traffic light coalition, a red-green-red alliance and a Jamaica coalition would also be conceivable.
Federal election 2021: Laschet improves poll numbers - Scholz continues to dominate
However, there is a small ray of hope for Armin Laschet on the question of the chancellor. Here, 13 percent of those questioned would vote for Laschet if the Chancellor were directly elected. The CDU leader has thus improved his poll numbers by three percentage points. Laschet is still in third place behind Annalena Baerbock, who has improved by one percentage point to 15 percent, and Olaf Scholz, who has lost one percentage point but is still clearly in the lead with 31 percent.
