Germany’s Populists Beat Merkel’s Migrant CDU Party: Exit Polls
Exit polls from Germany suggest the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have beaten Angela Merkel’s CDU in her home state, one year after she opened Germany’s borders to unlimited migration.

The AfD is seen as the nationalist, populist, anti-mass migration party of the country which has undergone drastic changes, internal splits, and widespread “controversy” over the past few years.

The victory in Mrs. Merkel’s home state will pour cold water on her thoughts of running for another term as Germany Chancellor.

17:00 BST – Polling stations are closed and ballot counting begins

Voting for the regional elections in the northern German region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommen ended at 6pm local time. Early exit polls suggest that Alternative for Germany (AfD) are in second place behind the ruling Socialists with 21 per cent of the vote.

The party of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has suffered a major setback losing several percentage points since the last election in 2011 heading down to third place.

While the Socialists are in a commanding lead with 30 per cent of the vote, the party lost much support from its traditional working class base. Both the AfD and the Socialists took 28 per cent of the working vote due to many working people being directly impacted by the effects of mass migration.

Across the board, all major establishment parties lost percentage points compared to the election in 2011 with the AfD at +21 per cent, and the liberal FDP gaining a mere 0.2 per cent.

Ballots are currently being counted and a final result is expected in the coming hours.

ORIGINAL STORY FOLLOWS:

BERLIN, Sept 4 (Reuters) – Voting began on Sunday in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where polls project the anti-immigrant Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party will make huge gains amid growing discontent with Chancellor Angela Merkel and her open-door refugee policy.

The election, taking place exactly a year after Merkel’s decision to open Germany’s borders to hundreds of thousands of refugees, will be followed by another key vote in Berlin in two weeks and national elections next September.

Voters already punished Merkel in three state elections in March, voting in droves for the AfD and rejecting Merkel’s Christian Democrats.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a small coastal state in northeastern Germany with just 1.3 million eligible voters, but losses there would be humiliating for Merkel, who has her own electoral district in the state.

The AfD, founded two years after the last election in the state, is expected to capture 22 percent of the vote, the same as Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), junior partner in the state’s ruling coalition, according to a poll by broadcaster ZDF.

The Social Democrats, senior partners in the state’s ruling coalition, are expected to win 28 percent of the vote, compared with 35.6 percent in the last state-wide election in 2011.

The AfD is also making gains nationwide, a new poll showed Sunday. If the national election were held next week, The AfD would win 12 percent of the vote, making it the third-largest party in Germany, according to a poll conducted by the Emnid institute for the Bild newspaper and published on Sunday.

That would catapult the party into the German parliament for the first time since its creation in 2013.

Merkel, mulling a bid for a fourth term as chancellor, made a last-minute campaign appearance on Saturday in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, warning against the politics of “angst” offered by AfD with its virulent anti-refugee stance.

“Every vote counts,” she said. “This election is about the future of this state.” She urged voters to look beyond divisive campaign slogans and consider the policies of the current coalition that had halved unemployment and pumped up tourism in the northeastern coastal state.

In an interview in the mass-circulation Bild newspaper, Merkel defended her decision to welcome so many migrants fleeing conflict in the Middle East, and denied the influx had cut funding for the German public.

Merkel’s approval ratings have sunk to a five-year low of 45 percent over the past year, but the chancellor said she would act no differently if faced with the same situation today.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, a fellow Christian Democrat, rejected criticism from some in the CDU’s Christian Social Union (CSU) sister party that Merkel’s refugee policy was responsible for the rise of the AfD party.

The Emnid poll said 63 percent of Germans believed that too.

“I consider that preposterous,” he told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. “The refugee crisis is not the reason that far-right populist parties are now making gains here. That has more to do with the anxiety that some have about globalisation and modernity.”

It's not a shock that the SPD came first, they came first in 2011.

This is the 2011 vote:

SPD 35.6%, CDU 23%, Linke (the Communists) 18.4%, Grüne 8.7%, NPD 6.0%, FDP 2.8%

So as the second table illustrates the change:

SPD - 5.3%, CDU - 4.0%, Linke - 5.9%, Grüne - 3.8%, NPD - 2.8%, FDP + 0.2%, AfD +21.8%

All those parties are down from the previous vote, the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) only formed a few years ago again have taken votes from all sections both Left and traditional Conservative, also the internals say that 34% of votes are from people who didn't vote in 2011, most of these are young first time voters.

Leif-Erik Holm (AfD) is a good man, he's an Economist, he's done well in this election.

In 2011 the seats were:

SPD 27 seats, CDU 18 seats, Linke 14 seats, Grüne 7 seats, NPD 5 seats, FDP 0 seats.

With the results tonight, the seat distribution, they could fall short of a majority, also we wait to see how many seats the AfD get.

It's a kick to Merkel because she represents Vorpommern-Rügen – Vorpommern-Greifswald I(she has represented there since 1990 when it was called Stralsund – Nordvorpommern – Rügen)

Merkel now wants to send tons of the Muslim savages back to Greece, another insane idea from her, no logic from this woman for a long time.

Edited to add comment about Greece.

Great signs for AfD.

The people are waking up.

The AfD were only formed a little over three years ago, so to go from 0 to 22-24% is amazing.

The 24% is from the March election in Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt)

The CDU got 29.8% (down 6%), AfD got 24.2% (up 24.2%), Linke (Communists) got 16.3% (down 7.4%) and the SPD got 10.6% (down 10.9%), pretty much all the AfD 24.2% came from support that bled to them from the CDU, Linke and the SPD.

Which is again what we see tonight in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern results, that voters from the Left, well the Far Left predominantly and also traditional Conservatives are voting for the AfD.

This is a map of the Sachsen-Anhalt results from March this year, this shows that a new, young political party formed just over three years ago can significantly gain a foothold and appeal to a broad base, in the below the SPD have disappeared.

The rise of the AfD is amazing and a credit to the German people for listening to alternatives. That map is a beautiful thing to see it grow. Frauke Petry has done a wonderful job, I hope she is given more interviews so the world can get more familiar with her like we have Nigel Farage.

I can't wait to see the results and see how they grow.

The other day an AfD MP came in with a burka and they forced her to remove it .... Proving the point that it should be banned. Frauke Petry calling for German citizens to be able to arm themselves ..... This is active and successful leadership for the people and taking issues to the people.

I am in the United States but I do enjoy seeing this freedom movement sweep across Europe.... These countries deserve to rule themselves and have their own money if they choose.

Too little, too late I think. All Germans should just start attending mosque prayers and German women should all wear hijabs or burkas. As they are fated to become Islamic nations, they should also cease any hostile actions in Islamic nations. All this applies to the rest of Europe too. The European people have no backbone and will not rise up and fight.

It's not lost yet.
 
The Berlin madhouse will play Trip to Jerusalem tomorrow and the nuts vote their meds.
There is a small chance for the AfD to rank second but most likely they will be the fourth or fifths power.

Interesting... I was reading where it looked like 3rd for AfD. No matter .... 3rd, 4th, or 5th still isn't bad for a political party that is 2 years old.

Close enough. The current frustration over the migrants should help them and push the others down .
 
The opening post is completely misleading by its use of the word "victory" for the racist AfD since it was the socialists who won in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, beating AfD into second place.

When a political party is not even 2 years old and gets second place in Merkel's backyard. It's a victory.

What socialists? SPD was never socialist. And AfD is not racist but right-wing. The AfD has experienced some stunning successes which do not represent trust in the AfD but distrust for the established parties since the AfD has not yet participated in a government.

For a guy who just got into politics it's quite an achievement that he has come this far. And by the polls it's looking like he will beat the woman who has planned her whole life around being president. What's that say about her if he is close to taking away her life's work in 1 year?

Hell she is even blaming frog meme's now....

No doubt. It's no surprise considering we elected a guy in 2008 with no Zero experience in the public or private sector. At least we are trending up with trump in that way.
