Union and Alternative for Germany (AfD) find common ground again

In the latest Ipsos survey, a reputable global market and social research company, the Greens and Die Linke parties have garnered 11% of the votes each, setting them as key players in Germany's political landscape.

Founded in Paris in 1975, Ipsos offers a wide range of research and analysis solutions, supported by the broad know-how of multi-specialists. Their ticker symbols on Reuters and Bloomberg are ISOS.PA and IPS:FP, respectively. The company, still led by researchers, has over 500 employees in Germany, distributed across five locations: Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg.

As of my last update, there is no specific information available from Ipsos regarding the current voter preference trend in Germany's Bundestag elections. However, general trends in German politics can be inferred from broader polling data.

The Union (CDU and CSU) and the AfD are currently tied at 25% voter preference each, according to the survey conducted from August 1 to 3, 2025. The SPD, meanwhile, is in third place with 15% of the votes. The Greens (Grüne) and Die Linke follow closely, each with 11.8% and 10.5% of the votes, respectively.

The BSW has gained popularity and is at 5% of the votes, surpassing the 5% hurdle, while the FDP is stagnant at 3% and would miss re-entry into the Bundestag. All other parties together have a vote share of 5%.

Ipsos has bundled its solutions into 14 service lines, catering to over 5,000 customers worldwide. The company also provides Election and Opinion Polls. Ipsos can be found online at www.ipsos.de.

It's important to note that the next parliamentary election in Germany is expected in 2029. Current polls suggest that the CDU/CSU is leading, followed by the AfD, SPD, Grüne, and Die Linke. The AfD has seen a recent increase in support, while the CDU/CSU has experienced a slight decline in popularity.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information from Ipsos, it would be best to consult their latest reports or surveys directly. Ipsos is listed on the Euronext in Paris since July 1, 1999, and is eligible for the Deferred Settlement Service (SRD). The company is also part of the SBF 120 and the Mid-60 Index.

For more detailed and specific data, it's advisable to refer to Ipsos's official reports and surveys. The survey quoted online was representative of eligible voters in Germany.
