Polling Chatter

 The Insa polling organization (a group I'd rate highly) completed their weekly political poll, and it's dismal news for Merkel's CDU Party.

According to this poll, the CDU Party has fallen to the point where the SPD is even with them (both at 22 percent).

The Greens?  They lost a point over the last poll (now at 17 percent), while the FDP Party gained a point (now at 13 percent).

The Linke Party sits at 7 percent.

If you look at the pace or trend line, it'd be a safe bet to say that the SPD will marginally win this election (maybe 2 to 3 points over the CDU).

The curious thing is that a SPD win, or CDU win....is of such small numbers....they would have to combine with a third group (probably FDP or Greens).

This means the ministry posts, and coalition document would be a difficult mess to iron out.  

With a SPD win.....would the CDU even get the vice-Chancellor position?  I'd suggest that this might not occur, and the FDP might score big getting the position. 

Highly dramatic ending coming up?  No doubt.
