The ruling alliance in Germany, the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU–CSU), led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, is once again losing popularity and ceding ground to the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which is once again becoming Germany's leading party. In the latest poll conducted by the INSA sociological institute for the Sunday edition of the Bild newspaper, the CDU–CSU tandem lost one point and gained 25% of the vote, while the AfD has remained stable at 26% for many months. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) also remains stable at 16%. The Greens are polling at 11%, and Die Linke (The Left) at 10%. The Alliance for Social Justice and Economic Reason (Sahra Wagenknecht Union, BSW) is not gaining ground and remains at 4%, while the Liberal Democratic Party (FDP) is receiving 3% of German voters' preference: if elections were held these days, both political formations would remain below the 5% threshold. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's personal rating is also falling rapidly: 67% of respondents said they were “dissatisfied” with his performance (+5% compared to the survey conducted two weeks ago), while 10% declined to give their opinion. Only 23% of respondents are satisfied with the chancellor's performance, which is 5% less than in the poll two weeks ago. The overall assessment of the German government's performance has also deteriorated: 68% (+2%) of respondents were dissatisfied, while only 22% (–3%) were satisfied.
