    Plus two percent, a difference of one percent to second place and an error margin of two point five percent. Congrats.

    Besides that, I really start to hate these reports. Weekly updates on the Sonntagsfrage are utterly lacking substance, fearmongering (to left leaning people) and reassurance (to AfD voters). Everything we do not need.

      Also, the heads of most of the polling institutes are openly right leaning.

        About a election in 4 years? Not really. At least not yet. This isn‘t news worthy in my opinion because it doesn‘t tell you anything about what the country will look like in 4 years.

          If the current government is even willing and able to serve their term to its end (the previous one didn’t), and actually improve the situation enough so people stop running after some rat catchers with a simple lie as the supposed solution.

            But the Left and Greens are in opposition — this is a chance. Hopefully they are able to mobilise as well in the coming years.

          Calm down, you could have just said “yes the left should be worried but no need to panic” and all would be well.

            I’m not calming down. This dumb shit happens just far too often lately. I have no idea, why people insinuate things others never said and burn that strawman down, but I’m getting too tired and more and more pissed off by it, to the point where I wonder if it’s even worth it or I should rather stop discussing.

            Shit’s annoying AF.

              You should stop discussing because what you call a straw man is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of your comment. If you don’t want it to be open to interpretation, you should be more clear, rather than get mad at people taking one of the reasonable interpretations. An additional sentence at the end of that comment like “That said, the left should be worried.” would likely have been enough.

                About as reasonable an interpretation as asking you if you mean humans shouldn’t ever feel emotions by saying “Calm down”.

            So in your stupid brain “Not A” is automatically and without any alternatives to equivocate with “the utterly illogical opposite to A”?

            How on earth is “push the breaks on fearmongering” equal to “Na, don’t worry”???

              • Fear mongering is making people worried.
              • You are against this report for doing this to leftists, hence you are against making leftist people worried.

              ?

                You can be against news fearmongering a certain group and also believe the fear this group has is valid. In this case, the leftist could for example be already worried by the actual situation and not because of the fearmongering.

                No for fucks sake. Fearmongering is the irrational exaggeration of a worrisome situation to a degree that incites fear (hence the term fearmongering) and panic.

                  So what irrational fears are promoted about the AdF getting into power and achieving greater public support?

                  Or is it irrational to think the most popular party in Germany could ever win?

                  Very confusing, I’m so stupid after all.
