Parties - CDU and AfD tied in election poll in Saxony
According to an election poll, the CDU in Saxony is on a par with the AfD. In the survey conducted by the opinion research institute Civey and the "Sächsische Zeitung" (Monday), both parties landed at 33 percent. The Greens, Left Party and SPD would therefore have to worry about entering the state parliament with seven percent each. The Free Voters (three percent) and FDP (two percent) would fail to reach the five percent hurdle as things stand. The next state election in Saxony is scheduled for September 1, 2024.
The pollsters asked 3002 people the Sunday question: "Who would you vote for if state elections were held in Saxony next Sunday?". The survey was conducted between November 19 and December 3.
In the survey conducted by opinion research institute Insa at the beginning of September, the AfD received the highest approval rating with 35%, while the CDU came in second with 29%. It was followed by the Left (9%), SPD (7%), Greens (6%) and FDP (5%).
Election polls are generally always fraught with uncertainty. Among other things, declining party loyalty and increasingly short-term election decisions make it difficult for opinion research institutes to weight the data collected. As a matter of principle, surveys only reflect opinion at the time of the survey and are not a forecast of the election outcome.
