Berlin: More than a quarter of German voters are undecided with only eight days until the parliamentary elections, according to a new poll released Saturday. According to Anadolu Agency, in a representative poll conducted for public television ZDF, 28% of respondents said they are not yet sure whether they will vote or which party they will support. The survey showed that opposition leader Friedrich Merz's conservative alliance CDU/CSU maintained its lead with 30% support, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is holding steady at 20%. Chancellor Olaf Scholz's center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) increased its vote share by one percentage point to 16%, followed by his current coalition partner, the Greens, at 14%. The socialist Die Linke was polling at 7%, while both the liberal FDP and left-populist BSW (Bundnis Sahra Wagenknecht) hovered at 4%, just below the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament. According to the latest poll, the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) lack the votes for a parl iamentary majority, making a coalition government necessary. CDU leader Friedrich Merz has not yet indicated his preferred coalition partner between the SPD and the Greens. While analysts largely expect the Christian Democrats to pursue a coalition with the SPD for stable governance, polling data suggested they could also form a narrow majority with the Greens, though this option appeared less favorable.
