Saarbrücken / Kiel / Hanover - The SPD dominates the polls for the state elections in 2022 in at least three federal states. In two of the federal states it would come in well over 30 percent, in two of them the CDU even outperformed it with a ten-point lead.
Regarding the individual countries: In Saarland, which will elect a new state parliament on March 27, the SPD, with 33 percent, is well ahead of the currently ruling CDU (28 percent).
In the Infratest dimap survey, the AfD also got nine, the Greens and FDP eight and the left six percent.
Top candidate Anke Rehlinger would therefore replace the current Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU).
In the last state elections in 2017, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer led the CDU before switching to federal politics.
