Germany's political landscape has gone through considerable changes in the 2020s. Recent polls indicate a tight race between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in a potential election. As of this month, 28 percent would vote AfD, with 24 percent indicating they would vote CDU. The SPD trailed in third place at around 13 percent support, marking a considerable shift from previous elections.

CDU wins the 2025 election

The CDU secured 208 seats in the 2025 Federal Election, making it the largest party but falling short of a majority. The AfD finished in second, at 152 seats, creating a complex political landscape. Despite the AfD's considerable gains, the CDU ruled out a coalition with the party, turning to the SPD, who won 120 seats, to form a government. The election's outcome reflected growing concerns among voters, in particular regarding the economy and immigration/integration, which have recently emerged as the top issues for voters in Germany.

AfD dominant in Eastern Germany

The AfD won the highest share of the vote in the five federal states that were formally part of East Germany, with their highest share of the vote being in Saxony. The CDU had the highest vote share in eight states, with the SPD winning in Hamburg and Bremen and Die Linke in Berlin. In addition, younger voters generally turned their backs on Germany's traditional parties, with only a quarter of 18- to 24-year-olds voting either SPD or CDU. Die Linke were the most popular party among this age group, while AfD won the higher support among the 35 to 44 age group.
