New Election Poll

This morning, if you previewed ARD news, there's a new political poll which comes out two weeks prior to the election here in Germany.

The results?

The SPD has fallen down to around 21-percent.  For the party elite, it's a pretty harsh slide.

The AfD is in at 11-percent, and it looks pretty good for the Linke Party (at 10-percent).

But the thing that interested me was the combined effort of the center-right and center-left parties (CDU-SPD)....in that they probably won't get past 58-percent....which is the lowest vote total since WW II.  It says a good bit about the attitude of the public and that neither party is holding a lot of influence over the public.  Four out of ten voters won't side with either party.
