Professor of political science @unigreifswald.bsky.social. Mainly interested in political parties, parliaments and public opinion.
Bemerkenswert:
- AfD und SPD rücken näher zusammen (10%, Sept. '25: 19%). => Zuspitzung mit den Nebenwirkungen für "die Kleinen" (hier: Grüne und BSW) wie bei anderen LTWs?
- Nur 37 % kennen den CDU-Spitzenkandidaten.
- BSW-Wählerschaft deutlich näher an SPD (und Schwesig!) als an der AfD.
