There is a general election on Sunday.
According to a recent survey, the SPD continues to have the greatest opportunities.
Can the Union catch up again?
Berlin - The weekend of the decision has begun.
The polls shortly before the general election promise a much closer race than in 2017. A recent poll still sees the SPD as the party with the most votes.
Bundestag election survey: SPD remains the strongest force - FDP increases
According to the current trend barometer from RTL and ntv, the SPD remains the strongest force in the polls. The Social Democrats land with 25 percent ahead of the Union with 22 percent. The Greens are in third place with 17 percent. These values remain unchanged compared to the survey from a week ago. The FDP gains one percentage point and ends up at 12 percent, the AfD loses slightly and is valued at 10 percent (-1). The left comes to 6 percent and thus apparently cannot get rid of all worries about missing the five percent hurdle. 26 percent are non-voters or are still undecided.
A majority capable of governing would therefore have the following three-party coalitions: Under the leadership of the Union, a Jamaica alliance would come into question (CDU / CSU, Greens, FDP).
The SPD could be a Germany coalition (SPD, CDU / CSU, FDP), a Kenya alliance (SPD, CDU / CSU, Greens), a traffic light (SPD, Greens, FDP) and a red-green-red alliance (SPD, Green, left) form.
A majority would again have a grand coalition of the SPD and CDU.
A red-green government or an alliance of CDU / CSU and FDP would not have a majority.
Federal election survey: Scholz wins the Chancellor ranking - but Söder wants a majority
If the Germans could elect the Federal Chancellor directly, the majority would still choose SPD candidate Olaf Scholz. The current finance minister, like Union candidates in Armin Laschet, loses one percentage point compared to the trend barometer from the beginning of the week, while the value for Green candidate Annalena Baerbock remains unchanged. Shortly before the election, Scholz is with 28 percent 15 percentage points ahead of Laschet, who, according to the survey, is the most unpopular candidate for chancellor with 13 percent. Baerbock comes to an agreement of 16 percent. 42 percent would not choose any of the three applicants.
Interesting: If CSU boss Markus Söder were the Union's candidate for chancellor, 39 percent would choose him, 22 percent for Olaf Scholz and 15 percent for Annalena Baerbock.
For the Bavarian Prime Minister, it is the next survey in which he scores significantly better than the competition in terms of chancellor preference.
