After losses in the Bremen elections, the Greens in Germany are also losing some approval across the country, according to a survey.
In the RTL/ntv “Trendbarometer” published on Tuesday by opinion research institute Forsa, the eco-party lost one point compared to the previous week and dropped to 15 percent. In doing so, they support the right-wing populist AfD, which 16 percent of those polled would vote for if there were a general election on Sunday.

The SPD also loses a point, falling to 17 percent, according to the survey. As the only member of the “traffic light” coalition, the FDP wins one point and is thus at 8 percent. The Union climbs to 30 percent (+1). The left remains unchanged at 4 percent.
The Greens made five ministers in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s (SPD) “traffic light” coalition, including Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (economics and climate protection). The AfD (Alternative for Germany) is currently well above the result in the last federal election (10.3 percent). Reasons may be the migration issue and their partly pro-Russian stance in the war in Ukraine, which is shared by quite a few people in East Germany. (aeg/sda/dpa)
