Everything is open in the general election next Sunday.
There is no clear favorite, in the polls the SPD and Union are close to each other.
Many alliances are possible.
Key roles are played by the FDP and the Greens - they will possibly be chancellor makers: is FDP leader Christian Lindner involved in a traffic light coalition under an SPD chancellor Olaf Scholz?
Or is the way of the Greens with Annalena Baerbock in a Jamaica coalition under Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet shorter?
At least the sympathies are clearly distributed among the supporters of the parties.
This is shown by a survey by the opinion research institute Civey for SPIEGEL.
You can read the background to the Civey method here.
Accordingly, the vast majority of the Green supporters reject an alliance with the CDU, CSU and FDP: 75 percent rate such a coalition negatively.
The clear favorite of those who lean towards the Greens, on the other hand, is a left-wing alliance: 70 percent see red-green-red as positive.
The traffic lights also come off well: The majority of the Green sympathizers (54 percent) also find an alliance with the SPD and FDP to be good.
The opposite picture emerges for supporters of the FDP, albeit not as pronounced as for the Greens: 51 percent rate the traffic light constellation as negative;
Jamaica, on the other hand, see 53 percent positively.
The favorite of the Liberal partisans is the German coalition with 59 percent on the positive side.
This constellation in turn meets with little enthusiasm among supporters of the SPD: 73 percent of them see black-red-yellow negatively.
SPD supporters rate red-green-red and the traffic light much better: Both alliances get 59 percent approval each.
