The AfD is clearly ahead of the CDU/CSU in current opinion polls and is approaching the 30 percent mark.
In a YouGov survey the AfD reaches 29 percent and is thus nine points ahead of the Union, which falls to 20 percent. The Forsa institute sees the AfD unchanged at 27 percent in the RTL/ntv trend barometer ahead of the Union at 21 percent.
The Greens follow with 14 to 15 percent, the SPD reaches 12 percent. The FDP is at 5 percent, while the BSW remains below the five percent threshold.
Other institutes such as Insa and the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen also confirm the AfD's lead in recent weeks.
