News: Angie Merkel is as good as done

Bradley effect. Also as pointed out various times here in this thread: It doesnt matter what the overall populace thinks important, just the center to right side share.

SPD leader's answer to the question where they made mistakes

 

also

For the CDU in Hesse it will certainly not get easier in the last two weeks of the election campaign. However, a bad result or even worse losing the important state could spark a conflagration. "If Bouffier falls, there will be a broad effect until the party congress," they say behind closed doors at the CDU. Hardly possible to get under control again. Volker Bouffier, also CDU Vice chairman, is one of the most powerful Merkelians in the Union. If he loses the state in Wiesbaden nothing is excluded. Even a resignation of Merkel herself. If she feels that she lacks the backing for a good result in her re-election for party leader in December she will probably quit on her own, a person close to her says.

We need a CDU version of this song

So la-di-di-da-di, Christian Democratic Party

 

@The Jitty Slitter

This is why you're wrong

(2/3) ... CSU not only lost twice as many voters to FW+AfD+FDP than to the Greens. They could also compensate their losses to the Greens by attracting former non-voters. (Chart 👇). Most important: Robert Habeck's project is the transformation of Greens into a centrist party ... pic.twitter.com/hQsyE838Uc

The drain in voters would certainly have been bigger. It's evident 2/3 of their voters lean to the right and then eventually ran away. CSU loss would have been bigger if they had been on Merkel course. Green basically switched positions with SPD and the conservative bloc remains stable 63% v 31%
