Poll: AfD continues to lead in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, CDU trails behind
Strongest Political Force in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Maintained by AfD, According to Survey - Strongest Party in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Still the Alternative for Germany (AfD)
Did you hear about the latest survey in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania? Here's a lowdown:
- The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) continues to reign supreme with a 17% share of the votes.
- The Christian Democrats (CDU) aren't having such a great run, lagging behind in third place with 15% of the votes.
- The Left party, who are currently in coalition with the Social Democrats (SPD), are showing promising results, expectedly moving up to 15% from the 2021 state election.
- The Alliance for Progress and Social Justice (BSW) has seen a significant drop in support, falling from double digits at the start of the year to a meager 6%.
- The Greens aren't faring much better with 5% of the votes.
- No separate figures were given for the Free Democrats (FDP) in the poll.
- Regular elections in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania will occur again in late 2026, with the SPD having won the 2021 election.
- This poll was carried out between April 8-15, 2023, involving 1000 respondents aged 18 and over.
While the 2023 Insa poll results are available, it's interesting to note some historical context:
- Back in 2016, the AfD managed to secure 20.8% in the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania state election[5], making them the second most popular party.
- In 2017, the AfD regional lawmakers, including Bernhard Wild, defected to form Citizens for Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, which later disbanded in 2018[1].
Currently, Germany's centrist parties (CDU/CSU and SPD) are working on a coalition agreement[2], while the far-right AfD remains a considerable opposition force nationwide[1]. To find more recent polling from authoritative sources like INSA or Infratest dimap, let me know, and I'd be happy to help!

- Did you know that the Commission has also been consulted on the draft budget for the year 2026, considering the potential impact on policy-and-legislation and politics in general-news?
- It's worth noting that the coalition between Manuela Schwesig's SPD and The Left party in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania might be reconsidered if the poll results for the 2026 state election show a significant shift in voter preference.
- In the context of the 2026 Mecklenburg-West Pomerania state election, the coalition government might look to the successes of the CDU in Pomerania to develop a stronger campaign strategy.
- In the wake of the 2023 INSA poll, it would be interesting to monitor the evolution of support for the BSW in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania leading up to the 2026 elections, especially considering the party's current downward trend.
