The AfD earthquake continues!
In Brandenburg, the far-right party is ahead of all other parties for the first time: If the state were to vote on Sunday, the AfD would get 32 percent there!
This emerges from a survey carried out by Infratest-dimap on behalf of rbb24 and Antenne Brandenburg for the so-called “Brandenburg trend”. This brings the AfD to nine percentage points more than in the last RBB survey in April - and 4 percentage points more than in the INSA survey from July for BILD.
The AfD is now the strongest party in the polls in four federal states. It is already ahead in Thuringia (32 percent), Saxony (35 percent) and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (29 percent).
In Brandenburg, pressure is now increasing on the SPD, which has been in power for more than 30 years. It would only come to 20 percent – two percentage points less than in the previous survey in April.
The fall of party and government leader Dietmar Woidke (61, SPD) is more painful: only half of Märker residents (51 percent) are satisfied with his work - at the end of 2020 it was still two thirds of Brandenburgers (67 percent).
Astonishing: 38 percent of those surveyed had “no problem with the AfD in the state government.” Including 92 percent of AfD voters – of course. But also 37 percent of Free Voters supporters and 24 percent of CDU fans. Even 21 percent of left-wing friends wouldn't mind. Only SPD and Green voters are 90 and 98 percent, respectively, strictly against the right in power.
The fact is: The Brandenburg AfD is one of the most radical state associations of the right-wing party and is observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a “suspected case of right-wing extremism”. More than 60 percent of the members also belong to the ethnic-nationalist “wing”, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution classifies as “certainly right-wing extremist”.
The AfD faces the greatest competition from the far left: 44 percent of Brandenburg residents would welcome the founding of a Wagenknecht party. The former left-wing faction leader in the Bundestag, like the AfD, sympathizes with war criminal Putin and wants to close the borders. But unlike the AfD, the former SED comrade wants to control companies and profits by the state.
The CDU landed at 18 percent (-5), the Greens at 8 percent (-1). According to this status, the Left would also be represented in the state parliament with 8 percent (+1) and the Brandenburg United Citizens' Movements/Free Voters with 6 percent (+1). The FDP is at 4 percent (-1) and would currently fail at the five percent hurdle, as it did in 2019 and 2014.
