Poll: Majority of Germans see themselves as leftists
The majority of Germans classify themselves politically as leftist. This was the result of a survey conducted by the polling institute Kantar Emnid on behalf of the news magazine Focus.
The question was how they ranked on a scale of one for “left” to ten for “right”. The majority, at 4.7, gave a value slightly to the left of the middle.
At the top of the left spectrum are the followers of the Left Party, who ranked themselves with 3.1 on the scale. They are followed by Greens with 3.8 and the SPD with 4.1.
Right of the center are the supporters of the FDP with 5.3 and the CDU/CSU with 5.6. Farthest to the right, the voters of the AfD ranked with 6.1.
The polling institute polled 1 014 people on 7 and 8 August this year to obtain the results.
