AfD expands lead over Union in latest poll

The ARD Deutschlandtrend shows that the AfD is further expanding its lead over the Union. According to the poll, the Union, which consists of the CDU and CSU, is losing support, while the AfD is gaining traction. The gap to other parties is also widening.

Moreover, more respondents support a cooperation with the AfD, at least in certain cases. This indicates that perceptions of the right-wing populist party among voters are varied, and discussions about potential collaborations in future political decision-making processes are underway.
