Meanwhile, an expert judgment after the TV “final round” on ZDF main speaker Armin Laschet could cause concern or at least anger.
#Politologist Moritz Kirchner saw the top candidate in the final round: inside @janine_wissler @dielinke ahead.
The appearance of # CDU Chancellor candidate @arminlaschet was weak for him.
With the presence of @markus_soeder @csu, #Laschet was "pretty drowned".

The political scientist Moritz Kirchner attested in the “phoenix round” of the TV station of the same name a “double Söder paradox” at the expense of Laschet.
The CDU had thought of the appearance of the CSU boss in the group as "reinforcement", he speculated.
"But it has become very clear that the Union should have taken Söder and not Laschet, because, to be honest, it is pretty drowned." Kirchner saw the left Janine Wissler as the winner of the round - among other things, because she was in a dispute about apartment expropriations "played back the thing to Laschet" *.
However, the expert also had praise for FDP leader Christian Lindner and the Green Annalena Baerbock.
With Merkel and Söder - Laschet wants to outdo Scholz today, of all places, in Munich
Preliminary report:
Munich - The last polls before the day of the election * are likely to have arrived slowly - and the race for parliamentary majorities and the Chancellery is still largely open. But it is also clear: Olaf Scholz and the SPD will be the favorites on election day *. The last undecided want to reach the Union, SPD and Greens on Friday at rallies. The CDU and CSU have probably the most spectacular plan shortly before the federal election.
Because Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet * (CDU) made his penultimate big appearance in Munich of all places.
So there, from where his competitor for the candidacy teased angrily for months.
The Union probably wants to send out a signal of maximum unity.
In addition to Laschet, CSU boss Markus Söder is with the party on Friday afternoon - and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), who had held back for a long time in the election campaign.
Bundestag election: CDU / CSU election campaign conclusion - Laschet, Söder and Merkel on the Nockherberg in Munich
However, Laschet, Söder and Merkel do not go to Marienplatz, probably Munich's largest and most central traditional election campaign stage. The Union has chosen the Nockherberg for its rendezvous. Every year, politicians are “derbleckt”, ie made fun of, when the strong beer is tapped. The CDU and CSU should of course have something completely different in mind - a great celebration.
It should start at 4.30 p.m., after all, the election campaign managers in Munich have scheduled a full two and a half hours.
Brass music and an honor salute from the Truderinger Böllerschützen are also planned.
Laschet will still go one better: on Saturday lunchtime, he will perform in his hometown of Aachen.
Once more with Merkel, who is slowly going on a farewell tour - and is now beating the drum again for Laschet.
The two had also appeared in Merkel's still-constituency this week.
Bundestag election: Scholz and Baerbock are also still in action on Friday
Meanwhile, the SPD and the Greens are looking for contact with the voters again on Friday.
SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz * speaks at a rally in Cologne (3:00 p.m.), Green top candidate Annalena Baerbock * and co-party chairman Robert Habeck will come to Düsseldorf for the high point of the election campaign (3:30 p.m.).
