Polls point to AfD advantage
Surveys conducted ahead of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state elections indicate that the AfD would receive more than 36 percent of the vote if the ballot were held now. The elections are scheduled for September 20.
Context from recent results
The AfD secured victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election held earlier in September. This outcome appears to have influenced polling trends in the neighboring state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Next steps
Voters in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will decide the composition of the state parliament on September 20. Official results are expected the same evening.
