The AfD has been lying for months ahead in all surveys. But it has never reached the 40 percent mark. There was great skepticism when CDU politician Mario Voigt entered into an argument with AfD right winger Björn Höcke agreed. Many feared that the AfD would benefit more from such a format than the CDU. After the TV duel from April 11, 2024, this prediction seems to have come true: The Party is now supposedly at 41 percent. What do the youngest ones have? Surveys really show? ## Evaluation Approval for the AfD in Thuringia has never been so high in a serious one Election poll. The latest poll results on the Sunday question see the party at around 30 percent. The 41 percent comes from a survey with a other question. ## Facts The AfD member of the Bundestag Stephan Protschka distributed the picture on January 15th. April on Facebook with the comment: “How difficult it must be for the Focus be able to report on this result?" (spelling in the original) In fact, “Focus” published the results of one on the same day Opinion poll. The Civey survey institute asked on behalf of the magazine: “Is the AfD after the TV duel between Björn Höcke (AfD) and Mario Voigt (CDU) for you more or less selectable?" 40 percent answered that The probability that they will vote for the AfD has decreased. 41 percent held they are eligible for more at this time. So it wasn't asked which party, as with classic Sunday questions the participants would vote for, but what their attitude towards the AfD would be has changed. The most recent survey results were in mid-March published: In a survey by Infratest dimap on behalf of the MDR from On March 19, the AfD reached 29 percent. In an Insa survey commissioned by Funke Medien Thuringia from March 19th put the party at 31 percent. The AfD has never been above 40 percent on the Sunday question in Thuringia.
