Eight Weeks Until the Baden-Wurttemberg State Election

 First, will the state election slated for mid-March occur?  Every indication suggests that it'll go forward.  A lot of chatter exists....to say it'll be moved to September (national election period) because of Covid-19.

The current trend analysis, if it holds to mid-March?

The Green Party ought to win this....in the neighborhood of 30-to-34 percent.  The CDU ought to be near 28-to-30 percent.  It's likely to be a 1-to-3 point win for the Greens.  If it's beyond 5-points difference....it's a serious problem for the CDU.  

The AfD?  Likely sitting back with the SPD.....both getting near 11-to-12 percent.  The FDP folks won't be getting more than 8-percent max.

A problem 2nd place for the CDU?  It'll be long discussed and demonstrate weak points for them in the fall.  

I should note this about the Green Party in Baden-Wurttemberg....they aren't exactly reading the same script as the national Green Party.  Jobs and the economy matter to this state's Green Party participants.
