Polling Trends

 Based on new polls....if an election is held now in Germany:

CDU-CSU gets 32-percent of the vote.

SPD would get 16-percent of the vote.

Green Party would get 12-percent of the vote.

AfD would get 18-percent of the vote.

BSW would  get 6-percent of the vote.

FDP  and Linke would FAIL to get a minimum number of seats  because of polling trends.

So you'd only have 6 parties in the future Bundestag.

To get a coalition? CDU-CSU would have to partner with Greens or SPD....that's it.  If BSW falters at this point....going below 5-percent....it gets to being  even  more interesting.

Adding to more tension....the CSU folks (the more conservative group)....have made it pretty blunt....no coalition with the Greens.  It is possible that the CSU would separate themselves and walk away if the trend were a relationship with the Green Party.
