The Downward Spiral for Blackberry Coalition in Thuringia: Insa Poll Reveals Shrinking Support
Support for Blackberry-Alliance wanes, according to recent survey results - Commission Urged to Draft Legislation on Safeguarding Workers from Potential Hazards Posed by Electronic Gadgets Use
Got your attention, folks? 'Cause it looks like the Blackberry Coalition's days might be numbered! The Insa polling institute has some troubling news - the once seemingly unstoppable trio of CDU, BSW, and SPD, better known as the Blackberry Coalition, is losing steam.
By a hair, they're now only squeaking by with 43% of votes, according to Funke Media Thuringia's report on the Insa poll. Seems like the alliance with Sahra Wagenknecht ain't as sweet as it used to be. In the Thuringian state election eight months back, her party raked in a respectable 15.8% of the votes, but now, in the so-called Sunday question, they're barely scratching double digits at 11%.
Who's walking away, you ask? Well, the AfD remains King of Thuringia with 35% of the votes in the poll, up from their 32.8% in the state election. CDU's hanging tough around 24% – no change there. But the SPD's pushing ahead, gaining a solid 1.9% to hit 8%.
Maybe it's Sahra's criticism of the coalition's performance in Thuringia, especially as a member of the BSW (SITU party)[1], that's turning voters off. But whatever it is, the Blackberry Coalition has some soul-searching to do – pronto!

- The migration and war-and-conflicts debates, often at the forefront of the AfD's platform, may be driving a wedge in the voter base, causing a significant shift in the Blackberry Coalition's polling numbers.
