The Alternative for Germany (AfD), the country’s sole right-wing, anti-globalist party, has surged to a record 42% in the eastern state of Saxony, putting the party within striking distance of an outright majority and raising the real possibility it could soon govern alone if it gains just a few more percentage points.
With analysts estimating that around 46% would be enough to secure a single-party government, thelatest polling datasuggests that threshold is now within reach. The development marks a potential political shift that could reshape Germany’s power structure.
The numbers place the AfD far ahead of its nearest competitor. The establishment, globalist Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led nationally by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, trails at mere 21%.
The gap is striking. In practical terms, the AfD now commands roughly double the support of the CDU in Saxony.
The polling data appears to reflect more than a temporary polling fluctuation, instead signalling a deeper realignment in voter sentiment across eastern Germany.
The AfD’s rise has been rapid. The party gained seven percentage points compared to the previous survey conducted roughly a year ago.
At the same time, traditional parties are losing ground. The CDU’s result represents one of its weakest performances in the region.
Other establishment, globalist parties, on the left and the right, are also struggling to maintain relevance. The Social Democrats and Greens hover at around six percent, while the Left Party remains in single digits.
Taken together, the data points to a collapse of the political center. Voters appear increasingly unwilling to support established parties.
In the neighboring state of Saxony-Anhalt, the trend is similar. There, the AfD has also reached 42%, reinforcing its momentum across eastern Germany.
