Germany's Political Landscape Shifts

Published: 2024-12-29

Germany's latest political poll by INSA reveals minimal changes in party standings as 2024 ends.

The Union remains stagnant at 31%, while the SPD gains slightly, reaching 17%.

The Greens hold steady at 12%, but the FDP drops to 4%, risking exclusion from the Bundestag.

The AfD has seen a decline, falling from 23% to 20% over the year.

With 13% of votes going to smaller parties below the 5% threshold, parliamentary majorities are achievable with just 44%.

Current projections suggest a potential majority for a Black-Red coalition, but not for Black-Green.

Meanwhile, AfD's Alice Weidel narrowly leads Union's Friedrich Merz in the race for chancellor.
