According to a recent survey, ten months after the state elections in Baden-Württemberg, the Greens are only just ahead of the CDU.

After their record result in the election on March 13, 2021, the Greens have slipped significantly in the political mood, but remain the strongest force.

If there were a state election next Sunday, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann's party would get 26 percent, a drop of 6.6 percentage points compared to the election.

Stuttgart - This was the result of a survey by infratest dimap on behalf of SWR and "Stuttgarter Zeitung", which was published on Thursday.

The coalition partner CDU could therefore count on 23 percent (election: 24.1) and would end up in second place. Compared to the survey in October, shortly after the CDU bankruptcy in the general election, the Christian Democrats in the southwest are able to recover. At that time they had only come to 17 percent and were in third place behind the Southwest SPD.

In the case of the Social Democrats, the tailwind from Berlin is apparently waning again.

While they were 20 percent in October, they are now at 16 percent.

Compared to the state election, that would still be a plus of 5 points.

The state FDP cannot maintain its October high either: it loses three points and ends up at 12 percent;

in the state elections it reached 10.5 percent.

The AfD is improving, coming in at 11 percent, up two points from the October poll.

In the March election, she won 9.7 percent.
