Two weeks before the state elections in Saxony, a new poll shows that the AfD is narrowly ahead of the CDU. According to the survey conducted by Insa on behalf of several newspapers, the AfD is projected to receive 32% of the votes, closely followed by the CDU with 29%.
The coalition of the CDU, SPD, and Greens currently in power would not have a majority in the new state parliament, with only 39% of the votes. However, a coalition between the CDU and either the BSW or the AfD could potentially form a government.
The CDU, led by Minister-President Michael Kretschmer, has ruled out a coalition with the AfD. A previous survey had shown the CDU slightly ahead of the AfD, but the new poll indicates a shift in support.
The state elections will take place on September 1st, along with the elections in neighboring Thuringia.
