I haven't essay much over German state elections for 2019....mostly because they are so 'far' in the future. Well....Focus brought up a little story today over a 2019 state election....for Brandenburg (on the far east side of Germany).
The election would occur in September of 2019.
There's a new survey done for the state, and it's a bit of a shocker.
Infratest dimap did the polling, and here's the layout:
SPD - 23 percent (lowest point in years)
CDU - sitting mostly where they were six months ago, 23 percent
AfD - anti-immigrant party, sitting at 22 percent
FDP - would fail to meet the five percent requirement
Linke Party - 17 percent
Green Party - 7 percent
If it were to stay this way? The SPD could pull out a win, but would be heavily dependent on the Greens and Linke Party to build a coalition.
If the AfD were to gain two or three points? Well....the problem of a coalition exists, and so far....no one will suggest they'd consider a partnership with them.
All of this however....goes to the internal problem in Germany that both the SPD and CDU have lost a good bit of public support and it's hurting them in regional contests.
