Poll gives AfD victory with 44%. Absolute majority uncertain

Observador6 September 2026 at 17:11

The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved a comfortable victory in the poll for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, securing 44% of voting intentions. This result represents strong popular support for the party in a region of eastern Germany.

However, despite the expressive victory, the projections still do not guarantee an absolute majority for the AfD, which means the party may face difficulties in forming a government alone in this federal state.

The CDU party (Christian Democratic Union) came in second in voting intentions, representing the main opposition force to the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt. This poll occurs in a context of continuous growth of the far-right in Germany, particularly in the states of the former Soviet bloc.
