Opinion polling for the 2013 German federal election

Add article description


This is a list of opinion polling results for the 2013 German federal election, held on 22 September 2013.

Final results of the election had the CDU/CSU score 41.5% of the vote, their best result since tallying 47% in the 1990 election, but nonetheless five seats short of an absolute majority. The CDU/CSU's junior partner in the outgoing coalition, the FDP, failed to pass the 5% threshold and will therefore go without representation for the first time in the party's history. The SPD and Greens (red-green coalition), partners in the 1998–2005 Schröder governments, also fell short of the number of votes to get a majority. With neither coalition obtaining a majority on its own a grand coalition was formed by the CDU/CSU with the SPD due to the FDP's failure to obtain the minimum of 5% of votes required to enter parliament.[1] This coalition was similar to the 2005-2009 Merkel government.
