The anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has hit a new record of 39% in Thuringia, according to the latest Insa survey, putting it clearly ahead of the state’s three governing parties combined.

This marks the party’s strongest rating ever recorded in the federal state and places it clearly ahead of all three governing parties—the CDU, SPD, and BSW— which together achieve only 37%.

According to the poll, commissioned by the Funke Mediengruppe’s Thuringian newspapers, the AfD has gained two percentage points since mid-September, when it already hit a historic high of 37%. The CDU, led by Minister-President Mario Voigt, falls to 24%, roughly matching its performance in the 2024 state election. Both coalition partners also lose support: the SPD remains at 6%, while Sahra Wagenknecht’s BSW drops to 7%, down from nearly 16% in the last state election.

With these figures, the governing coalition would hold just 44 of 88 seats in the state parliament and continue to lack a majority, forcing it to rely on external support to pass legislation. Meanwhile, the Left Party remains stable at 14%, positioning itself as Thuringia’s third-strongest force. The Greens, however, would once again miss the parliamentary threshold with 3%.

The AfD is now approaching a potential absolute majority. If either the SPD or BSW were to fall below the threshold and exit parliament, roughly 42% of the vote could be sufficient for a single-party majority.

The new data also shows developments in other eastern federal states, where the AfD is likewise seeing record-high polling numbers ahead of the major election year in 2026.
