BIG: CDU/CSU has dropped to a record-low ~19.5% in the latest poll, down ~8 points since the February 2025 election.
AfD leads nationally at ~28–29%.
The AfD's landslide win in Saxony-Anhalt (43.8%) two days ago accelerated the slide.
Chancellor Merz is deeply unpopular, the economy is weak, and two more state elections on September 20 will pile on more pressure.
