I was comparing polls in the last few weeks with the actual result, and I was more thinking of the media thematising the SPD itself ("Beck problem", "Wortbruch" and so forth) rather than the Left Party directly. Though, that doesn't explain the Left Party's failure to get as much as in the polls (especially given that it had those high figures even in all the post-Wegner-scandal polls, too).
That Naumann failed to make the argument for him, I don't dispute at all. Already those polls I compared to showed that. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Guess which part was chosen as the section header.
At the end of the article, they refer to a poll of SPD members by Bild , the main rainbow press daily and The Sun equivalent (I won't link to the original source), with the IMO manipulatively chosen question of whether "working together" with the Left Party would be a "broken promise". I say of course it will be, but whether SPD members would support the policy is another question, and the only one quarter who thinks Beck should resign is an indication. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
