Alternative für Deutschland tops federal poll in Germany for first time
It has
been long coming, and here it is – of all days, today.
Just as
we wait for the coalition talks between the conservatives from CDU/CSU and the
Social Democrats, SPD, to finally conclude 40 days after the last federal
election, the far-right Alternative für Deutschland has come top in the latest
Ipsos poll on German voting intentions, at 25%, one point ahead of the election
winners, CDU/CSU at 24%.
The
Social Democrats are third with 15%, with the Greens and the Left both on 11%.
The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance is fifth at 5%, and the liberals from the Free
Democratic Party at 4%.

This is
the first time the AfD has topped a federal election poll in Germany in
history, putting further pressure on the Brandmauer (firewall) arrangement
seeking to marginalise the party in German politics.
AfD’s
co-leader Alice Weidel immediately reacted to the news, saying in a social
media post that:
Citizens
want political change – not a “business as usual” coalition between the CDU/CSU
and SPD!
