Support for German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU/CSU has fallen to a 12-year low according to a latest poll. The survey was conducted by public opinion research institute Emnid, published in the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. It’s done between July 19 and 25 with 2001 German citizens.
Results showed supported for Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party Christian Social Union (CSU) dropped -1% to 29%, lowest since 2006. That compares with 33 percent in the September election. Support for Social Democratic Party (SPD) dropped -1% to 18%. The support for far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) was unchanged at 15%. Support for Greens rose 2% to 12%.
The results also indicate that CSU risks losing its absolute majority in Bavaria in a regional election in October.
