German election: CDU/CSU clearly ahead in the polls DW 02/14/2025
Briefly

As the early election campaign for February 23 draws to a close, the incumbent chancellor, Olaf Scholz, remains hopeful for his Social Democrats (SPD). However, recent polling shows the SPD has dropped to 14%, a significant decline from its 25.7% in 2021. The conservative CDU/CSU has increased its lead to 32%, while the far-right AfD holds 21%. One-third of voters remain undecided, indicating potential shifts in support that could alter the election outcome. Voter discontent is evident, especially towards the collapsed coalition government.
The SPD won the Bundestag election with 25.7% in 2021, but current polls show it at only 14%, highlighting significant discontent among voters.
Despite Olaf Scholz's optimism, the CDU's current lead at 32%, shows a stark contrast to the SPD's decline and voter sentiments.
