Key Insights

  • **Decline in Coalition Support:** Only 37% of Brandenburg citizens are satisfied with the SPD-BSW coalition, a decrease from 40% in June.
  • **AfD Surge:** The AfD has reached a record high of 35% in the polls, marking a 3% increase since June. This is particularly noteworthy given the party's classification as a "secured right-extremist" organization by Brandenburg's constitutional protection agency.
  • **SPD and BSW Performance:** Satisfaction with the SPD stands at 33%, while the BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) lags behind at 18%.
  • **Desire for New Elections:** Nearly half (47%) of Brandenburg residents favor new elections, with strong support (88%) among AfD supporters.

In-Depth Analysis

The Brandenburg Trend poll, conducted by Infratest dimap between December 3rd and 8th with 1,184 eligible voters, paints a concerning picture for the ruling SPD-BSW coalition. A year after its formation, the coalition is losing ground, primarily due to dissatisfaction with the BSW.

The AfD's rise to 35% reflects a significant shift in voter sentiment. This surge raises questions about the underlying factors driving support for a party labeled as extremist. The poll also indicates that a two or three-party coalition without the AfD lacks a parliamentary majority, highlighting the party's growing influence in the region.

Interestingly, among SPD supporters, there is a greater openness to a coalition with the CDU (40%) than continuing with the BSW (37%). This suggests internal tensions and a potential shift in political alliances.
