As the early election on February 23 approaches, the current political landscape in Germany reveals a significant decline in support for the Social Democrats (SPD), now polling at just 14%. Incumbent Chancellor Olaf Scholz remains hopeful for a comeback, despite a stark contrast with the CDU/CSU's 32% lead. Voter sentiment is volatile, with 13% of respondents still undecided about their party choice, raising concerns about voter turnout and final preferences. A weak performance by the ruling coalition further complicates the government’s future.
The center-left government of SPD, Greens, and FDP collapsed in November 2024, with a poll showing 35% of voters preferring CDU/CSU for future leadership.
With the SPD polling at just 14%, down from 25.7% after the 2021 election, Olaf Scholz's belief in their comeback appears increasingly unrealistic.
Despite the decline of the SPD, a significant portion of voters remain undecided, with 13% indicating their preferences could still change before election day.
The far-right AfD holds second place in the polls at 21%, emphasizing a shift in German political dynamics ahead of the early election.
