According to a new Insa survey, AfD leader Alice Weidel is losing popularity.
She falls back to 18th place and makes room for Annalena Baerbock.
Erfurt – Alice Weidel loses.
At least according to the latest Insa survey for
Bild
.
Compared to the turn of the year, the AfD chairwoman slipped from 14th place to 18th place.
This means that Weidel is still more popular than her co-chair Tino Chrupalla, who moves from 18th to 19th place.
All politicians in the traffic light coalition improved in the ranking - except Boris Pistorius (SPD, 1st place) and Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP, 11th place), whose positions remained unchanged compared to the beginning of January.
Annalena Baerbock (Greens) has gained the most since the beginning of the year.
She overtakes Alice Weidel and rises from 16th to 12th place. The biggest dropout is Friedrich Merz (CDU).
Back then he was in 4th place, but now he only made it to 8th place.
Survey: AfD also loses overall, Wagenknecht alliance on the rise
But it's not just Alice Weidel who is experiencing a setback.
According to the Insa survey, the AfD as a whole is also losing popularity.
It is currently 19.5 percentage points behind the CDU and CSU (30.5 percent).
This means that it has lost three percent in popularity compared to the beginning of the year, shortly before the
Correctiv
research became known.
Apart from the Free Voters, all other parties also fell in the ranking compared to the January figures.
New on the screen, however, is the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which with 7.5 percent of the vote is behind the SPD (14.5 percent) and the Greens (12.5 percent).

AfD is the strongest force in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg
The importance of the alliance under the chairmanship of the former left-wing politician Wagenknecht will become particularly clear in this year's state elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg.
However, the AfD lacks serious competition, especially in Saxony.
According to the
MDR
Saxony trend from the end of January, 35 percent - i.e. over a third of all voters - would choose the party that is definitely right-wing extremist in Saxony.
The opinion research institute Insa surveyed 1,203 citizens for the representative survey from February 12th to 16th.
The error tolerance is given at plus/minus 2.9 percentage points.
