This marks a shift in voter sentiment, with the AfD gaining 2 percentage points since December 2024, while the SPD has dropped by 5 points.

In contrast, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has become the third strongest party with 14%, despite a slight drop of 1 point, while the Left party has gained significantly to reach 9%.

Public sentiment reflects significant dissatisfaction, with 68% of respondents believing that recent budget decisions regarding police and education are misguided.

Satisfaction with the SPD/BSW coalition's performance is low, with only 40% approval and 54% dissatisfaction, marking a decline in public confidence.

A recent poll indicates that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reached a record high of 32% support in Brandenburg, surpassing the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which has seen a significant decline to 23%.

As a result of these polling numbers, the SPD/BSW coalition no longer holds a majority, which means they would need to form a coalition of four parties to govern without the AfD.

The coalition partner, the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), has also experienced a decline, now standing at 9%, down from 12% in December.

The Green party remains at 5%, potentially positioning them to re-enter the state parliament after being ousted in the last election.

Minister-President Dietmar Woidke's approval ratings have also dropped, now at 50%, the lowest since he took office 12 years ago.

The survey conducted by Infratest dimap included responses from 1,185 eligible voters in Brandenburg.

This polling data comes approximately six months after the establishment of the coalition government between the SPD and BSW.

It is noteworthy that the Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution classifies the AfD as a confirmed right-wing extremist party, although a prohibition process is currently on hold pending an ongoing investigation.
