State election today in Lower Saxony (state in north Germany). It was forced into a earlier date because of one Green Party member leaving her party.
Three months ago? The CDU was predicted to carry five to eight point lead over the SPD. Today, it's been cut down in size.
Forecasts say that the SPD likely wins now by one or two points. Course, the AfD figures into this. They will carry around 9-percent of the vote (same story with the FDP and Greens). Roughly thirty-five percent of the vote will go to someone other than the CDU or SPD candidates.
Merkel's victory? Doesn't really affect this region like people thought it would. What's odd here...is that four weeks ago....the CDU carried a 7-point lead out of the national election from Lower Saxony, and yet now.....loses nine points in four weeks?
