Greens Surge Forward: Significant Advancement in Green Party's Position
In a recent Forsa poll, the German Green party has witnessed a significant surge in public support, increasing by four percentage points. On the flip side, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has experienced a minor dip of two percentage points. Both the Left party and Alternative for Germany (AfD) have also seen a decrease, by one percentage point each. The figures for the Union, Free Democratic Party (FDP), and other smaller parties remain steady.
If a federal election were held now based on these findings, the projected results would be as follows: CDU/CSU (36%), Greens (22%), SPD (14%), Left (8%), AfD (8%), and FDP (5%). The remaining 7% would go to smaller parties. The number of non-voters and those undecided currently stands at 22%, slightly lower compared to the proportion of non-voters in the 2017 federal election (23.8%). This survey was conducted between September 14 and 19, 2020, with 2,501 participants, on behalf of the RTL media group.
It's important to note that while the most recent and detailed Forsa polling data pertains to 2025 trends, the current political landscape is shifting. For instance, the 2021 federal election, for which Forsa data is no longer representative, saw the SPD leading with the Greens and FDP, ultimately forming a coalition government. In contrast, current polling data trend indicates a closer race between CDU/CSU and AfD, with a decline in the support for government parties compared to previous years.
In light of the current political landscape, the general-news coverage often discusses the shifting policies-and-legislation, with the Greens gaining more public support, potentially impacting the political landscape in the Other smaller parties. As political parties strive to solidify their positions, the transition could lead to unexpected alliances in the world of German politics.
