Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc widened its lead in a weekly poll ahead of Germany’s election as support for the Green party fell for a third consecutive week.
With Merkel’s Christian Democratic-led bloc steady at 28% in the Insa poll, the opposition Greens declined 1 percentage point to 17%, leaving them level with the Social Democrats, Merkel’s junior coalition partner for the last eight years. The Greens have faded steadily since the spring, when the conservative bloc’s two parties clashed before choosing CDU leader Armin Laschet as their candidate for chancellor in election.
