Politics Today

 I saw a polling done by RTL (commercial TV) today.

If an election was held (federal type)....the CDU/CSU would lead with 31 percent of the public vote.

The SPD (currently leading the coalition) would only get 19 percent.

The Greens would only get 17 percent.

The FDP is really screwed....at 6 percent, and the Linke Part rests at 5 percent.  The AfD?  At 13 percent.

The positive side?  We are around thirty months from the next election.  

Hurting the SPD situation for state elections?  Well....yeah, this is a major to explain to the public (two state elections in the fall for Germany, Hessen and Bavaria).

Different topics hurting the SPD message/brand?  I would say there's a group of ten subjects that they are screwing up, and can't really brag much about.  Same story for the Greens at present.

The economy being the big negative?  I would agree to rank this issue at the very top....with energy prices, the war support, refugees, and housing costs.
