AfD and SPD make slight gains in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Background & Context
In a current INSA poll for the Nordkurier, the AfD and SPD each gain one percentage point compared with the previous INSA survey. The AfD reaches 36%, while the SPD stands at 29%.
The Greens also rise to 5%, and the Left remains at 11%. Together, the SPD, Left and Greens would reach 45%.
The one-point increases should not be interpreted as evidence of a stable upward trend. INSA surveyed 1,000 people between August 4 and 11, and the statistical margin of error is around three percentage points.
The changes are therefore smaller than the poll’s margin of error. More significant than the slight gains is the overall balance of power: The AfD remains clearly ahead of the SPD.

We reviewed the current INSA figures and the survey used as the basis for comparison. The reported gains refer to the previous INSA poll, not to the 2021 state election or to a survey by another polling institute.
As with all polls, the results are a snapshot; a one-point change does not establish a confirmed trend.
