Polling

The national election in Germany is in September.  Polling this week by N-TV shows these results:

CDU-CSU hanging onto the lead at 25 percent.

Greens losing their edge, at 24 percent.

The SPD and FDP parties both at 14 percent.

The Linke Party at 6 percent.

The AfD Part at 9 percent.

The odds of Baerbock carrying the Greens to a win?  Most all news groups are showing the Greens in a negative trend since the middle of May.  Baerbock's edge?  Mostly gone.

All of this leading to a messy coalition situation in September/October?  No doubt.  

I suspect if you sat in a bar with a hundred working-class Germans.....roughly half of them would tell you that they don't really like the Chancellor candidates for the CDU, SPD, or Greens.
