SPD, Union and Greens: In a recent survey, they are each five percentage points apart. The trend reversal for the CDU and CSU has not really been pronounced so far.


SPD, Union and Greens: In a recent survey, they are each five percentage points apart.

The trend reversal for the CDU and CSU has not really been pronounced so far.

Berlin - There is still no real change in mood around a week and a half before the general election.

The gap between the two leading parties, the SPD and CDU, remains stable in a current survey by the opinion research institute YouGov (September 16).

Both lose a percentage point compared to the previous week.

At the time, the Christian Democrats were still happy about a slight increase.

If the voters were to vote now, the SPD could expect 25 percent of the vote, the Union with 20 percent.

Another five percentage points behind would land the Greens (15 percent).

The party around Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock remains stable.

Survey before the federal election: SPD ahead of CDU, Greens in 3rd place - Left is picking up

The AfD, currently the strongest opposition party in the Bundestag, also loses one point, according to YouGov, and lands at 11 percent.

The FDP remains at 10 percent.

The Left, on the other hand, is the only party able to gain this week and comes to 8 percent (plus 2 percentage points).

She makes up for her relapse from the previous week.

Another important thing to note: More than every sixth voter wants to decide later.

Notes on the survey

The polling institute YouGov evaluated the responses of 1,816 people between September 9 and 14.

The statistical margin of error is between 2 percentage points (for the SPD) and 1.2 percentage points (for the left).

A total of 2089 responses were evaluated for the question "Have you already made a final decision on how you will vote in the federal election?"

In principle, election surveys only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not a prognosis for the outcome of the election.

You are also always fraught with uncertainties.

Bundestag election: Laschet and Scholz criticize each other - polls see the SPD ahead

Because the Union has had to give up its favorite role in recent weeks, it is delivering more and more attacks against the Social Democrats in the election campaign.

On Wednesday, for example, Armin Laschet and Friedrich Merz presented a position paper on economic and financial policy.

At the press conference, the CDU chief insinuated that his competitor Olaf Scholz was “not under control” of the finance ministry.

SPD chancellor candidate Scholz, in turn, classified the CDU's immediate program as dubious.

"You don't even have to be finance minister to be able to judge that, a look at the newspapers is enough: a lot of small and small, at high costs," he told the

Handelsblatt

.

“None of this is financed.

That is why nobody takes the Union's immediate program seriously. "

"Chancellor Olaf Scholz"?

"Trend reversal"?

Union politicians see signs - numbers so far indicate otherwise

Union politicians had seen signs of a "trend reversal" after the previous weekend (September 11th and 12th).

In the ntv “trend barometer”, the CDU and CSU also increased slightly.

The CSU party congress and the second TV triall should give the impetus.

"We are already seeing the first signs of a turnaround," said CSU boss Markus Söder on Wednesday in an interview with

Augsburger Allgemeine.

Hopes that seem in vain.



The SPD also leads in the other surveys published this week, it comes to 25 to 26 percent.

CDU and CSU ranks at 20.5 to 23 percent.

The Greens are only 15 to 17 percent.
