For the remainder of 2021....there are three state elections this year:
6 June: Saxony-Anhalt
26 Sep: Berlin
26 Sep: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
For 2022?
Spring period: Saarland, NRW, and Schlesweg-Holstein
Fall period: Niedersachsen
As to the idea of damage done to the CDU for September's national election (this year)? Well....it won't have much affect on the Berlin election but it could be a curious twist for Mecklenburg if the CDU ranks poorly (they are ranked almost even with the SPD currently in the election polling).
As for 2022's spring election? A poor showing for the CDU in September of this year....would trigger a lot of worry for these three state elections in the spring.
My humble belief is that a really poor showing in the national election (Sep 2021)....would trigger a lot of talk for dismissing the party chief....Laschet. Recovering with a new party chief, and doing well in the spring of 2022? I kind of doubt it. You might be looking at a 12 to 18 month period where the CDU walks two to three individuals through....as party chiefs, and find serious public views of the organization.
