Hessen State Election Approaching

 State election in Hessen....set for 4 October 2023.

How the polling looks presently?  The CDU Party (right-of-center) has peaked out and presently sitting at the 25-percent range, with the SPD Party (left-of-center) sitting at 20-percent.  

Greens?  16-percent.  They would have been at 20 to 24 percent six months ago.

AfD?  Well....curiously, they've risen up to the 18 to 20 percent range in the past month.

AfD, this time last year?  They would have been in the ten to twelve percent range.  So yeah, there's a fair bit of change that has occurred in Hessen.

Linke Party (far left)?  A year ago, they would have pulled 5-to-6 percent....presently, its a question if they get to two-percent. 

The FDP and FW parties?  They appear to have enough to get 5-percent....meaning they will probably get seats as the election wraps up.

This rise in the AfD worrying folks?  I'd say after the election....there's going to be some closed-door meetings and both the SPD and CDU parties will discuss strategy on halting the change in the landscape.
