The AfD rises to 28 percent in the poll, while the Greens fall one percentage point to 13 percent.
Background & Context
The article refers to a specific nationwide voting-intention poll, known in Germany as the “Sunday question” because respondents are asked how they would vote if a federal election were held on Sunday. In this survey, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) reaches 28 percent; the Greens, Germany’s Green Party, are at 13 percent, down one percentage point from the previous survey.
This confirms the figures cited in the claim. However, the poll is only a snapshot of voting intentions, not an election result or a prediction of the eventual outcome.
A 28 percent result in this poll does not mean that the AfD would receive 28 percent in an actual election or remain Germany’s strongest political force. The article uses somewhat pointed language in places, but this does not affect the underlying figures.
