The AfD continues to lead the polls in Saxony-Anhalt, while smaller parties make gains.
Background & Context
In the latest Infratest dimap poll for the Saxony-Anhalt state election, the AfD remains the strongest force at 41 percent, exactly the same as in the previous survey in May. The CDU loses two percentage points and reaches 24 percent.
Among the smaller parties, The Left and the Greens each gain one point. The SPD and the BSW remain stable, while the FDP is still below the five-percent threshold.
The broad claim that “smaller parties” are gaining is therefore only partly accurate.

Review Transparency
We examined the current poll numbers and their change compared to the previous survey. The term “the ‘small’ parties” is vague: The Left and the Greens are gaining, the SPD and the BSW remain stable, and the FDP is not gaining.
Polls also only reflect sentiment during the survey period and are subject to a statistical margin of error.
