Another quarter of voters dismissed the CDU approach in Bundestag as fundament, including SPD, Green and Socialist Left Party voters.
Should other parties cooperate with AFD?
Germans are rapidly divided on this issue. Some 49% said that passing a law with AFD votes was not acceptable – while 44% said it was.

Greens has lost some land and is now 14% (-1), while the Left is likely to enter Parliament with 5% vote. But both the newlyweds Sahra Wagoncate Alliance (BSW) and former members of the Outgoing Center-Left alliance, neoliberal free democrats (FDP) are given tips to reduce the votes required for representation in Bundestag.
Are alliances possible?
Together, CDU and AFD will have a comfortable majority of seats in Parliament.
There will be a government option for CDU/SPD and CDU/Greens. SPD, the party remains that more voters say they would like to see a coalition partner for CDU. Some 19% (+1) in this role AFD, 14% (-2) and favor greens.
