BERLIN,
April 25 (Reuters) - Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) rose to
a record 28% in the latest weekly INSA voting intention poll published on Saturday, widening its lead over
the conservative bloc to four percentage points.
The
result marked the highest level ever recorded for the party by INSA and was up one point from the previous week.

The
conservative CDU party of Chancellor Friedrich Merz was unchanged from the
previous week at 24%, while the Greens slipped one point to 12%. The Social
Democrats (SPD) held steady at 14%, and the Left Party remained at 11%.
With 11%
of votes going to parties that would fail to enter parliament, a governing majority would mathematically require at least 45% of
the vote share among parties clearing the threshold.
If other
parties continue to rule out cooperation with the AfD, viable governing coalitions would be limited to three-party alliances, the poll
suggested. A coalition of the Union, SPD and Greens would command 50%, while the Union, SPD and the Left would total
49%.
INSA
surveyed 1,203 people between April 20 and April 24 and asked respondents how they would vote if a federal
election were held on Sunday.
