The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance can further consolidate itself in the ZDF political barometer.
The AfD, on the other hand, is recording losses.
Berlin – The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is slowly gaining momentum.
In the current
ZDF
political barometer, the BSW is gaining approval in the Sunday question and is now at six percent.
This means that the party around Sahra Wagenknecht, which was newly founded in January, would enter parliament if there were a federal election this Sunday.
The ARD
Germany trend had previously shown a similar result
.
The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance there has five percent.
So there seems to be a chance of getting into the Bundestag.
However, the BSW recently remained unchanged at three percent in the trend barometer from
RTL
and
ntv
.
So it is not yet clear where the journey of Sahra Wagenknecht's new party will lead.
But things seem to be looking up.
AfD slips significantly in the current survey
However, the situation is different for the AfD.
According to the ZDF political barometer, support for the right is falling.
In the survey conducted by the Elections Research Group, the party lost three points compared to the previous survey from mid-January and only achieved 19 percent.
Nevertheless, it would still be the second strongest political force in Germany.
After the party conference, the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance is moving up in the polls.
Oskar Lafontaine should also be happy about that.

According to the survey, the issue of right-wing extremism has increased significantly in importance and is now in second place among the most important problems in Germany, just behind the issue of migration.
The demonstrations against right-wing extremism are met with great approval: 79 percent think they are good.
38 percent believe that these protests, which are also directed against the AfD, are weakening the party.
72 percent of those surveyed also stated that they believed the AfD posed a threat to our democracy.
However, only 41 percent supported a ban on the AfD, some of which is classified as right-wing extremist.

Wüst achieved significantly better results in the survey than Söder and Merz
People in Germany continue to view the work of the traffic light coalition very critically.
Two thirds say she does a bad job, only 28 percent think she does a good job.
However, the respondents do not see a real alternative.
Only 31 percent believe that the Union would do better if it were in government.
For 50 percent there wouldn't be a big difference, 15 percent would expect worse work.
This time a new name appears in the list of the ten most important politicians.
When assessed based on likeability and performance (“What do you think?”), NRW Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) achieved significantly better values than Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) and CDU leader Friedrich Merz.
Wüst comes in second behind Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD).
