One in five German voters undecided ahead of February election, survey shows

A recent survey shows that 20% of German voters are still undecided ahead of the general election on February 23. Of these, 7% plan to make their choice on election day. This uncertainty may lead to last-minute changes in voter preferences. Traditional news sources remain the primary way voters gather information, with 63% relying on television, newspapers, and radio. Social media usage varies by political affiliation, with 40% of far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) supporters using it for information, compared to only 13% of center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) supporters. The election follows the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition government. Key issues include support for Ukraine, climate policies, and migration. Major parties include the Social Democrats (SPD), conservatives, Greens, and the AfD, among others.
