AfD boosts lead over CDU/CSU in ZDF poll; AfD projected at 28%, CDU/CSU at 22%

The AfD can significantly increase its lead over the Union in the current ZDF political barometer. If the next Sunday were a Bundestag election, CDU/CSU would reach 22 percent, one percentage point less than in the last survey, according to the research by the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen. The AfD would also improve, reaching 28 percent (+2). The SPD would also decrease, reaching 13 percent (-1). The Grünen, however, could gain two points like the AfD, reaching 15 percent. In contrast, the Linke would only receive 10 percent (-1). The FDP would remain unchanged at 3 percent; all other parties would collectively gain 9 percent (-1).
