With the German federal election approaching, 28% of voters remain undecided, a significant figure that adds uncertainty to the outcome. Interest in the election has surged, with 87% of citizens engaged, compared to 76% before the 2021 elections. The latest polls show Friedrich Merz of the CDU leading the chancellor race, followed by Robert Habeck of the Greens and Olaf Scholz of the SPD. Key issues influencing voter decisions include peace, security, and the economy.

Projections reveal dynamic shifts in regional support, with the CDU/CSU leading in many constituencies. The SPD faces challenges, securing fewer sure wins compared to the last election. Meanwhile, the Left Party has shown gains in specific regions, notably in eastern Germany. The new electoral law, capping the Bundestag seats at 630, introduces complexities, where regional wins may not translate into seats due to the second-vote system.

As election day looms, the unpredictable nature of undecided voters and the impact of the new voting regulations are pivotal. The upcoming TV debate among the main candidates is anticipated to sway opinions. Overall, the political landscape remains fluid, with potential changes hinging on the final voter turnout and last-minute shifts in voter sentiment.
