Poll before the federal election: Union is catching up - Greens, FDP and AfD complain about losses and leftists could fail because of the five percent hurdle
The Social Democrats lose a percentage point in the survey by the Allensbach Institute for Demoscopy and come to 26 percent, the CDU / CSU remains unchanged at 25 percent. The survey, which was commissioned by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), sees the Greens, however, on the decline. Accordingly, the eco party is only 16 percent and has thus lost 0.5 points, the FDP is also recording a negative trend and, according to the survey, is only 10.5 percent.
The AfD also laments losses.
According to the Allensbach survey, the alternative for Germany fell from eleven to ten percent.
The situation of the left is much more precarious. The party around Janine Wissler * and Dietmar Bartsch * was unable to bring the election program of the left * closer to the general public.
