Re: State elections in Germany: can the left come (4.00 / 3)

Hessen state TV:
CDU: 35.5%
SPD: 37.5% (!!!)
FDP: 9.5%
Greens: 8%
Left Party: 4.9%

Ypsilanti's SPD defeated Koch's CDU? but it's VERY narrow between the blocks, and for the Left Party!

Looks like a better than expected showing for the greens. Excellent.

Now less so: ZDF projects 7.4% in Hessen... However, that 8.0-8.1% in Lower Saxony, is the best result ever.

Too bad for the Greens in Hessen. The last polls had them at 7%.

CDU and FDP are now at 49.8% in Niedersachsen. I think they'll probably still have a majority even if they drop to 49%. But it'll be a slimmer majority.
