“…possibly supplemented by the Greens or the FDP. Such a coalition would probably reform the debt brake without solving all financial problems. The changes in the poll results are still very limited approximately a week before the general elections. The CDU/CSU have stabilized their average poll ratings at just over 30% and are therefore likely to be by far the largest parliamentary group in the new Bundestag, while the AfD, SPD and Greens have recently seen their poll ratings fall. There has been more movement among the smaller parties. The Left Party, which has long been well below 5%, has made significant gains in recent weeks and therefore has a good chance of re-entering the Bundestag even if it does not win three direct mandates. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), on the other hand, is trending downwards. The polling average for them is now below 5%, threatening the re-entry if their results falls below the 5% hurdle. The same holds true for the Liberals(FDP), whose poll ratings have been stable at around 4% for several weeks.”
