Polling Update

 I watched RTL commercial news today, and a new poll came out for the September national election.

Bad news?

Well....for the CDU, Merkel's party, they slipped.  Now at 28-percent (from 30-percent two weeks ago).

SPD? 16-percent.

Greens? 19-percent.

The Linke follow with 7-percent, the AfD with 10-percent, and the FDP at 12-percent.

What this presents?  While the CDU will likely win....to piece together a coalition is a fairly messy episode.  Partnering with the Greens alone....won't give you a majority.  

Going for a CDU-CSU, Greens, FDP situation or a CDU-CSU, SPD, FDP deal?  You'd weaken the CDU promises by a massive amount, and marginally give the CDU any real minister slots.  

While Laschet will likely win the Chancellor job....I don't see a lot of success stories for the coalition for the next four years.
