Almost a year after the state elections in Saarland, the SPD is still clearly ahead according to a survey, but no longer has an absolute majority in the state parliament. This emerges from the "Saarland trend" published on Thursday by the opinion research institute Infratest Dimap on behalf of Saarländisches Rundfunk (SR). If there were state elections in the Saar next Sunday, the Social Democrats would get 38 percent of the votes - and would thus be 5.5 percentage points below the election result of March 27, 2022.
The CDU therefore achieved 28 percent and remained at the level of the election result. The AfD would do significantly better than in March 2022: it would come to 10 percent (state election: 5.7 percent). The Greens would therefore make it into the state parliament, unlike a year ago, with 8 percent. The FDP would have to worry again with 5 percent, the Left would remain outside with 3 percent.
With this election result, the SPD would then be dependent on a coalition partner. A grand coalition with the CDU, a red-green alliance or – as in the federal government – a traffic light made up of SPD, Greens and FDP would be possible.
In the state elections at the end of March 2022, the SPD won an absolute majority with 43.5 percent of the votes. For the first time in 23 years, she is leading the government on the Saar again. Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger has been in office since April 25, 2022. In the state parliament, the SPD has 29 out of 51 MPs. The CDU has 19 seats, the AfD 3.
According to the survey, the majority of the population is satisfied (50 percent) and very satisfied (6 percent) with the SPD's sole government. This is "the best testimony of all state governments in Germany," it said. This is probably also due to the Prime Minister's popularity: almost two thirds of those surveyed (64 percent) praised Rehlinger. In the ranking of the most popular prime ministers, she takes third place - behind Daniel Günther (CDU) in Schleswig-Holstein (75 percent) and Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) in Bremen (70 percent).
