AfD leads poll ahead of state elections
The AfD continues to expand its lead in the polls while the Union loses support.
According to the latest ARD "Deutschlandtrend," the AfD is improving its position in the polls, reaching 28 percent nationwide. This shows an increasing gap from the second-placed Union, which is also losing support.
The poll comes just a few weeks before the upcoming state elections, which could further influence the political landscape in Germany. The results reflect a growing backing for the AfD compared to other parties.
