Bremen state election 2027: polls, forecast and date
Average of each pollster's latest poll from the past 180 days, as of 19 August 2026 (80 days ago). Next election: 30 May 2027; see also the Bremen state election 2027 forecast. Sunday question Bremen: average, pollsters and trend.
CDU leads with 22.5%, 1.5 points ahead of SPD (21.0%). Biggest movement over 180 days: SPD −4.0 and AfD +1.0. Around the 5% threshold: FDP 4.0%.
How is the polling average calculated?
We take the latest poll of every pollster published within the last 180 days and average them with equal weight. Parties are shown as reported by the pollsters; “Others” collects everything not listed separately. The light area marks the statistical margin of a single poll of about 1,000 respondents.
Why do pollsters differ?
Pollsters use different sampling methods (telephone, online panels, mixed) and different weighting of undecided voters. The spread between the lowest and highest value per party is shown as a range; systematic differences per pollster are analysed under “house effects”.
Averaging the 2 latest polls for the Bremen state election, CDU leads with 22.5%, followed by SPD on 21.0%, a gap within the usual margin of error.

Seat distribution in the Bremen Bürgerschaft
Under Sainte-Laguë, the 87 seats would split into 22 for CDU, 21 for SPD, 16 for AfD, 15 for Grüne, 13 for Linke. FDP, BD, BSW would fall short of the threshold. Regular size 87 seats, excluding overhang and compensatory seats. Five per cent threshold applied separately for Bremen and Bremerhaven
- CDU22
- SPD21
- AfD16
- Grüne15
- Linke13
CDU would be the largest group with 22 of 87 seats; a majority needs 44. FDP, BD and BSW would miss the threshold and win no seats.
How is the seat distribution calculated?
Seats are allocated by the Sainte-Laguë/Schepers method among all parties above the 5% threshold (Fünf-Prozent-Hürde getrennt für Bremen und Bremerhaven), based on the polling average. The parliament has 87 seats; a majority needs 44. Overhang or levelling seats and constituency effects are not modelled.
Which coalitions would have a majority?
All two- and three-party alliances with a projected majority. Alliances that merely extend a smaller majority coalition are hidden. The arithmetic says nothing about whether a coalition is politically feasible.
No two-party alliance has a majority, 10 three-party options would. The current government (SPD, Grüne and Linke) would keep its majority with 49 seats.
Which coalitions are shown?
All two- and three-party alliances with at least 44 of 87 seats. Alliances that merely extend a smaller majority coalition are hidden. Tap parties in the calculator to test any other combination; exclusions can be set under Settings.

- AfD + Grüne + Linke44 of 87
SPD + Grüne + Linke had a majority in all 48 months; currently also holding a majority: CDU + SPD + AfD (throughout the period) and CDU + SPD + Grüne (throughout the period).
How is the coalition timeline calculated?
For the end of each of the last 48 months the polling average is computed as it stood on that date: the latest poll from each pollster within the preceding 180 days, averaged without weighting. Seats are then allocated using the parliament's method and threshold. An alliance has a majority in a month if its seats add up to at least half plus one. The most recent month uses the current average.
Which alliances are shown?
The incumbent government, the alliances with a majority in the current average and the pairs of the four largest parties. A filled cell means an arithmetic majority in that month, a pale cell none. The bar says nothing about whether an alliance is politically feasible.
How secure are the majorities?
Polls have errors, so we recalculate the seat distribution 3,000 times with randomly varied values. The spread for each party follows from the sampling error of the average and from how far the final polls before earlier elections actually missed. The result: the probability that an alliance would have a majority, that a party clears the threshold and who becomes the largest party. This is not an election forecast but an assessment of the current polling picture.

3,000 simulations. Spread per party from the sampling error of the average and the historical deviation of polls from election results. Method.
CDU, SPD and AfD holds a majority in 100% of 3,000 simulations. Uncertain at the 5% threshold: BSW (6% above) and FDP (18% above).
How are the probabilities calculated?
We recompute the seat distribution 3,000 times with randomly varied poll values. The variation per party combines the sampling error of the average with the historical error of polls before elections since 2017. The probability is the share of runs in which an alliance reaches 44 seats.

How does the rolling average work?
Each point is one poll. The line is the average of all polls of the previous 180 days, one per pollster, so a single outlier moves it only slightly. Choose a period, an end month or the area view to explore the history back to 2017.
Search interest by party in Bremen
Each party's share of Google searches for the eight parties in the state, last 90 days. For comparison the current poll rating, where the party is listed in the state's polls.
In Bremen, AfD accounts for 50.2% of the search interest across the eight parties, ahead of CDU/CSU on 16.5%. In the state's polls AfD stands at 16.0%.
How is the search share by state calculated?
Google Trends reports for each state how search interest is distributed across the compared parties over the last 90 days. Two groups of five are linked through the AfD as a common yardstick; CDU and CSU are added together.

2024 European election in Bremen
In the European election on 9 June 2024, SPD came first in Bremen with 21.5% of the vote. The bars show the European election shares, the small figures the gap to the 2025 federal election in the same area.
In the 2024 European election, SPD was the strongest party in Bremen with 21.5%, −1.6 points compared with the 2025 federal election. Turnout was 57.0% (2025 federal election: 77.8%).
Why do the European and federal elections differ?
The European election has no electoral threshold, so small parties such as Volt, Die PARTEI or the animal-welfare party win more votes. Turnout is much lower, and the political mood shifted between June 2024 and February 2025. The single European-election vote is compared with the second vote of the federal election in the same area; parties that count as Others in 2025 get no difference.
Where do these figures come from?
