Germany: Center-Right Parties Maintain Lead
The latest batch of polls in Germany's upcoming general election show the center-right Christian Democratic Union and its probable government partner, the free-market Free Democratic Party, slightly increasing their lead over the parties of the left.
Four polls released August 16-19 give the CDU 42.3%, the FDP 7.6%, the governing Social Democratic Party a miserable 29%, the Greens 8%, and the former Communists 9.6%. If these results hold, the CDU and FDP together would have 52% of the seats in a new parliament versus 49% in the outgoing Bundestag. The SPD-Green coalition would have 38%, and the far left 10%.
