Germany – Poll: The CDU-CSU remains the strongest party nationally

The CDU-CSU “Union” remains the strongest party nationally with 26%. This is the result of the weekly poll conducted by the Insa polling institute on behalf of the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”. According to the first information, the party of the chancellor SPD loses one unit and reaches 23% this week.

The Greens remain stable at 18%, the FDP gains one point and reaches 10%. According to the poll, 11% of respondents would vote for AfD (+/- 0), while the other parties would get eight percent (+1) of the vote. The Party of the Left loses one point compared to the previous week and reaches only 4%.

Insa surveyed 1202 people between April 25 and April 29, 2022, with a maximum margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.

Meanwhile, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, where state elections will be held on May 15, the CDU and the SPD are in a head-to-head fight, according to opinion polls. In the latest Infratest Dimap poll, the Christian Democrats (31%) are one percentage point ahead of the Social Democrats (30%). According to Insa, the SPD was recently two percentage points ahead of the CDU.

Even in the case of second place, the leading SPD candidate Thomas Kutschaty (Thomas Kusati) wants to try to become prime minister. “Of course. There is nothing to forbid in principle,” the former justice minister and SPD leader in the state of Berlin told the Tagesspiegel newspaper. “The point is to organize a stable majority in parliament for your own government, if that is mathematically possible.”

Koutsati: Bust avoids controversy

Kutschaty stressed that there are good contacts with both the Greens and the FDP. In each case, they have seized it, despite obstacles we can scarcely imagine. ” This government will be voted down.

It is also important for the North Rhine-Westphalia position for a prime minister to work closely with the federal government of Olaf Solz (SPD) – that would happen to him.

He accused incumbent Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) of avoiding discussion with him: “I have not met him in any panel discussion yet. There is always only the second and third row of the CDU. I do not know why he avoids the public and does not want to compare directly.
