NEXT SURVEY SHOCK AfD suddenly in the lead in this federal state!

Leif-Erik Holm, the state head of the AfD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, wants to tackle the 30 percent

The east is tilting to the right — now the north is shaking too!

As a current election poll by the opinion research institute Insa on behalf of the “Nordkurier” showed, the AfD would also become the strongest force in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania if a state parliament were elected on Sunday.

According to the survey, the right-wing populists would come before the ruling SPD in their home country for the first time with 29 percent!

The Social Democrats would therefore only reach 27 percent, the CDU with 18 percent (-1) was clearly behind in third place. The co-governing Left would get 10 percent (-1), the Greens unchanged at 6 percent. The FDP would be thrown out of the state parliament with 4 percent (-1).

For comparison: In April, the AfD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was still 25 percent, the SPD 28 percent.

The state head of the AfD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Leif-Erik Holm, spoke of a “blue summer fairy tale”. “There is still room for improvement,” said the member of the Bundestag. The next step is to tackle the 30 percent mark.

SPD and CDU hold Heiz-Hammer responsible

The SPD and CDU in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania meanwhile hold federal politics responsible for the high AfD survey values. “The changes compared to the last survey certainly have a lot to do with the debate about the heating law. It caused a lot of uncertainty and anger among the population,” said SPD state chairwoman and prime minister Manuela Schwesig.

The CDU also directed its criticism at the State Chancellery in Schwerin, although it also expressed some self-criticism: “The AfD is currently primarily benefiting from the extremely poor work of the traffic light coalition in Berlin and the red-red in the country, and not yet the CDU,” he said the CDU state chairman in the north, Franz-Robert Liskow.

For the survey, 1,000 people over the age of 18 were interviewed, partly by telephone and partly online, between June 26 and July 3. The next state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are scheduled for 2026.

Poll high for the AfD in the east

The AfD is currently at a nationwide poll high. The party also achieved a new high in Thuringia. In a recent survey by Infratest dimap on behalf of “MDR” , the AfD, which was classified and observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as proven right-wing extremists in Thuringia, came to 34 percent.

The parties in the red-red-green minority coalition led by Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) scored a total of 35 percent, just one point more than the AfD alone.

Also in Thuringia, the nation’s first AfD district administrator Robert Stuhlmann started his work on Monday. He was elected in a runoff election on June 25 in Sonneberg, which caused some dismay among the other parties. In the neighboring state of Saxony-Anhalt, Hannes Loth was the first AfD candidate to be elected full-time mayor in Raguhn-Jeßnitz on Sunday.
