AfD Edges Union as SPD Hits Two-Year Low in New INSA Poll

The results leave only a CDU/CSUSPD‑Greens alliance near a workable majority.

Overview

  • INSA’s weekly Sunday poll for Bild shows AfD at 26 percent, the Union (CDU/CSU) at 25 percent, SPD at 13 percent, Greens at 12 percent, Left at 11 percent, BSW at 4 percent, FDP at 3 percent, and Others at 6 percent.
  • The SPD reading of 13 percent is its weakest level in about two years, placing it behind both the Union and the AfD in vote intent.
  • Compared with the prior week, the Union and SPD each slip by one point, the AfD is unchanged, and BSW and Other parties each gain one point.
  • The shares translate to 38 percent for the governing CDU/CSUSPD bloc and 36 percent for a Red‑Green‑Left option, while a CDU/CSUSPD‑Greens “Kenya” coalition would reach roughly 50 percent.
  • INSA’s Hermann Binkert says the Union and SPD together have lost more than one in ten voters since the February 2025 election, a drift that, alongside Germany’s 5 percent entry hurdle, tightens the path to stable majorities.
