Bloke's Backyard Chat: AfD Tops in Baden-Württemberg for the First Time, Edging Out Greens
Support surges for AfD, above Greens for the first time nationwide in latest election polling - Right-wing AfD takes lead over Greens in national polls for the first time.
Got some fresh scoop for ya, mate! The AfD is leading in the votes for Baden-Württemberg for the first time, according to a new survey done by Insa for the "Swabian News." This bad boy has gone past the Green Party lead by state premier Winfried Kretschmann.
Now, here's the lowdown: 17% of folks said they'd vote for the Greens if elections went down today in Baden-Württemberg - that's three points less than last month. But the AfD gets a point extra and now stands at 19%. The Lefties can even double their result this month and now sit at 8%.
The CDU ain't budged, still hanging tight at 31%.
Hermann Binkert, the boss man at Insa, spills the tea that the Greens took the biggest hit, while the Left took the biggest win in this poll. The CDU stays the strongest force in the southwest with a steady 31%. They surveyed around 1,000 people in the southwest who were 18 and overrecently.
The state elections go down in the southwest in March 2026. The CDU's throwing Manuel Hagel from Ehingen as their top dog, while the Greens gave the job to former federal minister Cem Özdemir from Bad Urach. The AfD's got ol' Markus Frohnmaier as their top candidate.
Just remember, polls are always subject to uncertainties. Things like fading party loyalty and last-minute decisions make it tricky for polling institutes to weigh their data. These polls are snapshots of the opinion climate at the time they're done, not crystal balls predicting election outcomes.
