The poll I've quoted is from infratest-dimap and was commisioned by the ARD Tagesschau which is the news show on public television in Germany.

For poll junkies: The poll was conducted on Wednesday and Thursday using a sample of 1000 people.

Also, if you know some blogs that cover the election, I'd appreciate if you'd post a link, because I've lost my list of blogs recently.

If time permits I'll post an overview of the major issues in the election and where the parties stand next week.
