In Berlin, the CDU is clearly at the top in polls.
The Christian Democrats lead ahead of the SPD and the Greens.
Left and AfD are in double digits, the FDP only at five percent.
Berlin – A week before the repeat elections to the Berlin House of Representatives, a survey sees the CDU achieve its best result in eight years with 26 percent.
As the
Berliner Zeitung
reported on Sunday, citing a representative Forsa poll on its behalf, the Greens came in second place with 18 percent, with the SPD almost tied with 17 percent of the vote.
The left reached twelve percent in the survey.
It is followed by the AfD with ten percent, while the FDP, according to the report, just barely secures its presence in the House of Representatives with only five percent.
SPD | Green | CDU | left | AfD | FDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
17 percent | 18 percent | 26 percent (+2) | 12 percent | 10 percent | 5 percent |

Berlin election: population dissatisfied
One explanation is "the great dissatisfaction of the citizens with the state of the city in general and the politics of the red-red-green coalition that has been in power since 2016 in particular," writes the
Berliner Zeitung
.
According to the survey, "sometimes up to 90 percent of those questioned are dissatisfied with the work of the administration and with the housing, school or traffic situation in the city".
At the same time, only a minority of 29 percent believe that a CDU-led Senate would work better than the current coalition.
On the original election day, September 26, 2021, there were numerous glitches.
In November last year, the Berlin Constitutional Court ruled in a sensational ruling that the elections to the House of Representatives and to the twelve district assemblies were invalid and had to be repeated in their entirety - there were simply too many serious mistakes made in the Berlin elections.
