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.

It's wild how people admire the guy who directly created the path of immediate destruction of his own fucking country, which was then replaced by a country that those same people all hate.
idk, like are they saying they want to set Germany up to be destroyed and replaced by a wildly more right country? Just say your politics are similar to Hindenburg's then!
Tbh Most germans i know and who were alive during Gorbachev only Like him because he's Seen as the one who "allowed" the reunification of Germany.
His Politics are vastly unknown besides people spouting the Classic glasnost and Perestroika.
On the topic of the Party: i think they themselves dont really know what their direction is yet.
Look at the Formation of the AFD early on. The racist sentiments were apparent but There were still lots of confuses economists in There that genuinely believed that the Former neonazi in His Party was Just magically deradicalized by libertarian thought.
And those Nazis became the thought Leaders over time.
Essentially im saying that while the AFD was far-right from the beginning they didnt know exactly where they are going.
I Hope the Same is true for Wagenknechts Party.
We have room for a more traditional socialist Party. They may have some weird views and If they're successful they will have lots of infighting.
Maybe that leads to those weird views Like the anti-immigration View disappearing.
The left Party is positioning themselves to be a modern socdem Party (hopefully without the Freikorps), even a somewhat problematic socialist Party could be helpful.
If not and they will Just become Like they appear currently Then they will Just BE another right wing party using left-speak to attract voters.
To be clear, I was being kind of sarcastic in an attempt to make the point that people just aren't saying anything coherent when they say things like that they admire Gorbachev's politics, but I do appreciate your insights on German politics.
