Before state elections in Saxony and Thuringia: CDU rules out AfD cooperation
The Saxon CDU rules out cooperation with the AfD, but does not fundamentally rule out cooperation with the BSWIn Thuringia, all other parties rule out coalitions with the AfD, and the CDU also rejects alliances with the Left and the Greens. Alliances with the BSW are also controversial within the CDU.
If voters could elect the prime ministers directly, both incumbents would be in the lead one week before the vote, according to Insa. In Saxony, almost half of those surveyed (45 percent) voted for Michael Kretschmer (CDU). In Thuringia, Bodo Ramelow (Left Party) would receive 33 percent and AfD top candidate Björn Höcke to 18 percent.
For the representative survey, the Insa Institute interviewed a thousand eligible voters in Saxony and Thuringia from Monday to Friday. (dpa/jal)
