Poll Places AfD Clearly Ahead of UnionThe August survey gives the AfD 27.5 percent; the Union loses 1.5 points and stands at 22.5 percent.
- In the hypothetical Sunday election, the AfD receives 27.5 percent, gains one point and would therefore be the strongest party.
- The Union is recorded at 22.5 percent, 1.5 points lower than before and the lowest CDU/CSU figure measured by Allensbach since October 2021.
- As governing parties, CDU/CSU and SPD together reach 35.5 percent, a decline of 1.5 points that the article says does not amount to an outright majority.
- The Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach interviewed 1,039 people in person between August 1 and 13, 2026; the findings reflect political sentiment only at the time of the survey.
