Political Survey Results: AfD Now Leading Over Union, Greens, and The Left
In a significant development, the latest poll results from Ipsos.de and Sunday polls conducted between September 5-7, 2025, indicate a continuation of the Union's (CDU/CSU) downward trend for the third consecutive month. This marks the first time since April 2025 that the Union has trailed the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
The AfD has maintained its lead over the Union, with the latest poll showing the AfD at 27% and the Union at 26%. This historic shift in German political polling has raised eyebrows across the political spectrum.
The current government coalition of black and red, consisting of the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens, would no longer have a majority, with a combined vote share of 39 percent. The SPD remains steady at 15 percent, while the Greens and Left have both improved, each achieving 12 percent.
The Union's losses have been substantial. The party that has recently overtaken the Union in polls for the first time in many months is the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The Free Democratic Party (FDP) remains stagnant at 3 percent and would fail to enter the Bundestag.
The party that has suffered the most in the latest poll is the BSW, which has lost further support and falls below the five percent threshold with 4 percent. All other parties together achieve a vote share of 5 percent.
The latest poll results indicate a continuation of the Union's downward trend, raising questions about the future of Germany's political landscape. As the election approaches, the race to form the next government is heating up, with the AfD leading the pack.
