The parties in the traffic light coalition are flying low in the polls.
The FDP is hit particularly hard.
Berlin – “Do good work for the country” – with this recipe for the traffic light coalition, FDP leader Christian Lindner actually wanted to get out of the poll low.
Especially, of course, from his own party.
However, the partial repetition of the federal election in Berlin again brought losses for the traffic light parties SPD and FDP - while the CDU and AfD were able to record gains.
This increases the pressure on the coalition to counteract its downward trend, which has also been documented in surveys.
Current election survey: FDP continues to slide – dramatic losses in the Sunday question
But another current survey also confirms this - especially when it comes to the Free Democrats.
In a representative series of surveys by the opinion research institute INSA, the FDP slipped further and reached its lowest value since 2016.
This is reported by
Bild
on Tuesday (February 13th).
“The FDP is fighting for its parliamentary existence.
If it could use its great additional potential, it would probably be mainly to the detriment of the CDU/CSU,” INSA boss Hermann Binkert told the newspaper, according to the preliminary report.

If there were a federal election on Sunday, the FDP would only get 3.5 percent of the vote, according to the survey.
That is one percentage point less than the previous week.
The SPD achieved 15 percent in the survey and the Greens 12.5 percent.
Together, the parties in the traffic light coalition only have 31 percent, reported
Bild.

Survey on the European elections: Union ahead, AfD at 22 percent
Current survey results are also available for the upcoming European elections.
The AfD could therefore double its 2019 election results if there were European elections on Sunday.
In a survey published on Tuesday by Insa on behalf of
t-online
for the European elections in Germany, the party achieved 22 percent.
In the 2019 election, the party was still at 11 percent, putting it in fourth place.
The opinion research institute INSA
The “Institute for New Social Answers” (INSA-Consulere GmbH, INSA for short) is a market and social research institute founded in 2009 by Hermann Binkert and based in Erfurt.
Binkert is a member of the SME and Economic Union, the representation of the interests of entrepreneurs, self-employed people and freelancers in the CDU/CSU.
He was briefly a member of the right-wing conservative CDU-affiliated Values Union.
In addition to surveys for media outlets such as Bild
and
Focus,
the company
also conducts political surveys for the right-wing conservative
Junge Freiheit
, the Protestant news agency
idea
and the Catholic
Tagespost
.
Binkert repeatedly points out how independent his institute is.
At the same time, INSA is criticized for being close to the AfD and advising it.
For this reason, INSA is sometimes accused of data manipulation.
However, there is so far no evidence of targeted manipulation.
Only the CDU/CSU is ahead of the AfD with 27 percent, around four months before the European elections.
The Union would therefore lose 1.9 percentage points compared to the previous election.
According to the survey, the biggest losers would be the Greens, who would slip to 10.5 percent.
In 2019 they came to 20.5 percent - this would almost halve their result.
The SPD is currently at about the same level as in the previous European elections.
In the survey she got 16 percent, in 2019 she got 15.8 percent.
The FDP loses 2.4 percentage points and falls to 3 percent.
According to the survey, the Left got 4.5 percent (-1).
The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance, which wants to run for the first time, received 5.5 percent in the survey.
The other parties together are at 11.5 percent.
The European elections will take place from June 6th to 9th, in Germany the vote will take place on June 9th.
