Sahra Wagenknecht's alliance is not set to enter the Bundestag: according to a new survey, she is losing.
The result is also bitter for the traffic light coalition.
Berlin – Sahra Wagenknecht has just declared that she could also imagine running for chancellor with her new party BSW.
Then comes this survey that makes it no longer seem so certain that the BSW will even end up in the Bundestag: According to the current Sunday trend by the opinion research institute Insa on behalf of
Bild,
the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance is slipping by two points.

Survey results put Sahra Wagenknecht back on the carpet
If there were a federal election next Sunday, Sahra Wagenknecht's party would only just make it over the five percent hurdle with six percent.
At the end of February, the alliance was still at eight percent - which Sahra Wagenknecht has now
taken to real heights in an interview with the
Rheinische Post .
“We have good surveys and high potential,” she explained.
That's why she's not ruling out anything for the 2025 federal elections, including a candidacy for chancellor.
Nevertheless, she also warned that we have to stay on the carpet - and the new Insa survey has now brought her back to this: For the second time since its record survey result of eight percent, the Wagenknecht party has lost another percentage point.
At the beginning of March it was seven percent, now there are only six percent of voters who would currently vote for Wagenknecht.
AfD remains in second place behind CDU/CSU - traffic lights are in bad shape
The other results of the Insa election survey are not surprising.
The AfD is still at 19 percent.
This means that the right-wing populist party remains at a constant level after the announcement of its remigration plans caused a drop from 23 to 19 percent.
The AfD is in second place behind the Union: The CDU/CSU lose one percentage point, but are still clearly ahead with 30 percent.
The government parties remain weak.
Olaf Scholz's SPD is stagnating at 15 percent, the Greens at 12 percent.
The FDP is at a bitter five percent, with which it would have to worry about returning to the Bundestag.
According to the current survey results, the Left (three percent) and Hubert Aiwanger's Free Voters (two percent) would not get into parliament.
