A poll commissioned by Bild showed that 14% of voters would vote for the Union - the same as for the SPD, which is represented by Chancellor Scholz.

Two more coalition pro-government parties - the Greens and the Free Democrats - would gain 12% and 4%, respectively, in a hypothetical election to the Bundestag.

At the same time, the right-wing Alternative for Germany, which also advocates ending support for Ukraine and accepting Ukrainian refugees, would score 18%.

The next elections to the Bundestag will take place in autumn 2025.

    The Christian democrats in Germany were just at the right place and right time at the end of the cold war to be the universal anti-communist party. They're one of those big tent type liberal (i mean conservative) parties. They've managed to remain so popular ever since because they're the favored party of German manufacturing. Like I remember the CEO of Siemens used to follow around Angela Merkel to international meetings sometimes.
