The German Social Democrats, led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, are losing voter support at a record pace.
According to data collected by the Valen analytical group, the SPD has lost 10.1 percentage points since the 2021 elections — this is the same as the Alternative for Germany (AdG), whose rating now exceeds 20%, has added.
Not only the SPD suffered greatly, but also Free Democratic Party (FDP) — their support fell by 7.4 percentage points to a critically low 4.1%, which actually means a departure from the Bundestag. The Greens lost 1.4%, their support now stands at 13.4%. Thus, all three parties of the ruling Traffic Light coalition are losing ground.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz sleeps and sees himself as the new Chancellor of Germany. The "left" also slightly strengthened their positions (+0.9%), now they have 5.6%. Sarah Wagenknecht's new movement gained 4.5%, which is not yet enough to get into parliament.
