Political Chatter

 Polling was done Monday, and results came out this morning....over public reaction of the two state elections from the weekend, and the gut-feeling if there was an election today.

Shocker?  The CDU has edged downward....to 29-percent of the public-vote, if there was an election today.  

The Greens bumped up to 21-percent of the public-vote.  

No one else really gained or lost much....with two or three percent of people just saying they don't feel attracted to any party right now.

The scenario of a CDU downward trend, before the September national election?  

Well....if we reach a point where the CDU is around 25-percent, and the Greens are near 25-percent....it'll be a serious point of acceptance....if the Greens came out a half-point ahead in the end.

Using this scenario....the Greens, the SPD and Linke Party....might have enough votes to create a left-left-left coalition government, and it'd be around for four years.  

So right now....a fair number of CDU-type voters are asking questions, and if it's time to 'fire' a few of the executives in the party (Altmaier and Spahn are on the suggested list).  My gut-feeling is that these are two of the few CDU folks who are delivering at present, and if you tangled with them....it really invites a whole bunch of weird scenarios to occur.
