Berlin In a recent survey, the AfD has drawn level with the SPD and is now at 18 percent. This is the best value for the AfD in the Sunday question of the ARD Germany trend, the Tagesschau reported on Thursday.

So far, it has only reached 18 percent once in the Germany trend of the Morgenmagazin in September 2018. The AfD won two points, the SPD one. According to the report, the CDU/CSU remains the strongest force with 29 percent (one point less).

The Greens also lose a point and, at 15 percent, reach their weakest value since September 2021. The FDP remains stable at seven percent, the left would fail with four points at the five percent hurdle.

Currently only 20 percent of those surveyed are very satisfied or satisfied with the work of the traffic light coalition, a decrease of eight percentage points compared to May, it is said. 79 percent are less or not at all satisfied with this, an increase of ten percentage points.

“For the government made up of SPD, Greens and FDP, this is by far the weakest value in the ARD Germany trend since the start of coalition work in December 2021.” The previous low was 27 percent satisfaction in April 2023.

32 percent are still satisfied with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), a drop of three points. 66 percent are dissatisfied with their work. For the Chancellor, this means the worst value in the Germany trend since taking office.
