Average of each pollster's latest poll from the past 120 days, as of 3 September 2026 (65 days ago). Next election: expected autumn 2031; see also the Saxony-Anhalt state election 2031 forecast. Sunday question Saxony-Anhalt: average, pollsters and trend.
AfD leads with 42.0%, 19.4 points ahead of CDU (22.6%). Biggest movement over 120 days: AfD +4.0 and CDU −2.4. Around the 5% threshold: Grüne 5.6% and BSW 4.0%.
How is the polling average calculated?
We take the latest poll of every pollster published within the last 120 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 5 latest polls for the Saxony-Anhalt state election, AfD leads with 42.0%, followed by CDU on 22.6%.

House effects: which pollster rates whom higher?
Since 3 September 2024, Infratest dimap has measured AfD on average 2.8 points above the average of the other pollsters, INSA has measured CDU on average 1.7 points below the average of the other pollsters, Infratest dimap has measured CDU on average 1.5 points below the average of the other pollsters.
Adjusted for these house effects, AfD would stand at 41.4% instead of 42.0%, CDU would stand at 23.2% instead of 22.6%. The current average is therefore shaped by which pollsters published most recently.

Positive: the pollster measures the party higher than the other pollsters' rolling 120-day average on the same day. Only pollsters with at least 3 polls since 3 September 2024.
Seat distribution in the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt
Under Sainte-Laguë, the 83 seats would split into 39 for AfD, 21 for CDU, 11 for Linke, 7 for SPD, 5 for Grüne. FDP, BSW would fall short of the threshold. Regular size 83 seats, excluding overhang and compensatory seats. Electoral threshold 5 per cent.
- AfD39
- CDU21
- Linke11
- SPD7
- Grüne5
AfD would be the largest group with 39 of 83 seats; a majority needs 42. BSW and FDP would miss the threshold and win no seats.
How is the seat distribution calculated?
Seats are allocated by the Hare/Niemeyer method among all parties above the 5% threshold, based on the polling average. The parliament has 83 seats; a majority needs 42. 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.
4 two-party alliances have a majority: AfD + CDU, AfD + Linke, AfD + SPD and AfD + Grüne. The current government (CDU, SPD and FDP) would lose its majority with 28 seats.
Which coalitions are shown?
All two- and three-party alliances with at least 42 of 83 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.
- CDU + SPD + FDPGovernment, no majority28 of 83
- AfD + CDU60 of 83
- AfD + Linke50 of 83
- AfD + SPD46 of 83
- AfD + Grüne44 of 83
CDU + SPD + FDP last had a majority in September 2023; currently holding a majority: AfD + CDU (throughout the period) and AfD + Linke (for 13 consecutive months).
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 120 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.
AfD and CDU holds a majority in 100% of 3,000 simulations. Uncertain at the 5% threshold: BSW (20% above), Grüne (64% above) and SPD (91% 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 42 seats.
Polling trend: how the polls moved since 5 November 2024
Since 5 Nov 2024 AfD +8.0 and Linke +3.5 gained, while CDU −7.6 and BSW −6.0 lost points.
How does the rolling average work?
Each point is one poll. The line is the average of all polls of the previous 120 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 Saxony-Anhalt
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 Saxony-Anhalt, AfD accounts for 59.2% of the search interest across the eight parties, ahead of CDU/CSU on 19.1%. In the state's polls AfD stands at 42.0%.
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.
Accuracy ahead of the election on 6 Sep 2026
Before the Saxony-Anhalt state election on 6 Sep 2026, Infratest dimap came closest to the result with an average error of 2.1 points per party, pollytix was furthest away with 2.7 points. All pollsters overestimated CDU (by 5.4 points on average) and underestimated Grüne (by 3.3 points on average). Official result according to the returning officer.

2024 European election in Saxony-Anhalt
In the European election on 9 June 2024, AfD came first in Saxony-Anhalt with 30.5% 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, AfD was the strongest party in Saxony-Anhalt with 30.5%, −6.6 points compared with the 2025 federal election. Turnout was 62.1% (2025 federal election: 77.7%).
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?
