AfD widens lead to 9 points over Union in new INSA poll

A new INSA poll shows the AfD at 29%, nine points ahead of the CDU/CSU at 20%, with the Greens at 14% overtaking the SPD. This shifts coalition arithmetic, making a CDU-led government without AfD support increasingly difficult, though a grand coalition or other combinations remain possible. The poll reflects continued fragmentation of the German party system ahead of the 2025 federal election.
