Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) dropped slightly in two polls published on Tuesday after 10 days of nationwide protests against the far-right party, although it remained firmly in second place. Support for the AfD dropped 2 percentage points to 20% in a Forsa poll, the lowest level in four months. The party remained behind the opposition conservatives on 31% but still well ahead of all the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's centre-left coalition, who together were polling 32%.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) dropped slightly in two polls published on Tuesday after 10 days of nationwide protests against the far-right party, although it remained firmly in second place.

Support for the AfD dropped 2 percentage points to 20% in a Forsa poll, the lowest level in four months. The party remained behind the opposition conservatives on 31% but still well ahead of all the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s centre-left coalition, who together were polling 32%.

The AfD dropped 1.5 percentage points on the week to 21.5% in the poll by the German Institute for New Social Answers (INSA), behind the conservatives on 30.5% and the ruling coalition on 31%.

“The demonstrations against the AfD are supported by 37% of Germans and they are showing an impact,” INSA chief Hermann Binkert said.

    Are you American? Because if you are, your opinion is worth null and void. You haven’t seen the effects of a large muslim population first hand.

    Ah yes, the biggest Arab aspiration is to emigrate to the west to become a serial rapist.

    Many actually oppose the west, and want Islam to spread, while still enjoying the benefits of living in the west.

    Thanks for the enlightenment. Don’t forget to also say they steal all the jobs

    If only. They’re largely unemployed

    abuse the welfare system.

    They do, putting unnecessary pressure on it.

    You think it might have something to do with poor people being more present in crime statistics?

    Why would anyone want to make their own country significantly worse by taking them in?

    No that can’t be it has te be related to race and/or religoin.

    Culture/religion is a major part. Race is not, that’s a made up concept.

    Hey wait we did this 75 years ago! Get your Siegs ready boys

    I already said AfD (and similar parties throughout other European countries) is a terrible option

      Why would anyone want to make their own country significantly worse by taking them in?

      They show up because we screwed over their countries. If you don’t want them to show up you should have considered our governments not going on an imperialist rampage and overthrowing every African and Middle-Eastern government that doesn’t give us their natural resources.

      Furthermore Western birth rates are so low that without immigration country couldn’t actually run. Most of the lower paying physical labor IE garbage collection, airport luggage, doing field work on farms, etc are done by these people.

      Lastly it’s not actually that many refugees coming into Europe. Most of the refugees end up in Turkey. By far the largest amount of refugees Europe received was the recent Ukranians. Arabs are certainly not on the streets mass raping women. This is mostly just propaganda pushed by Russia on facebook:
