According to the “Sunday trend” by the Insa institute for “Bild am Sonntag,” reported by Tagesspiegel, the AfD stands at 29 percent – seven points more than the Union of Friedrich Merz (CDU/CSU), which remains unchanged at 22 percent. The FDP gains one percentage point to reach four percent, but still fails to clear the five-percent hurdle.
The Greens remain at 14 percent, the SPD at twelve percent. The governing coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD together reaches 34 percent – a loss of nearly a quarter of voters since the federal election in February 2025. The Left Party gains one point to eleven percent, while the BSW stands at three percent. A total of 1,203 eligible voters were surveyed from May 18 to 22.
The 74-year-old Wolfgang Kubicki won the power struggle for the FDP leadership; his competitor, NRW state chief Henning Höne, withdrew. Insa chief Hermann Binkert told the paper: “The three coalition parties have lost almost every fourth voter since the last election.”
