AfD leads recent Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election polling by a consistent margin ahead of the 20 September 2026 vote. Multiple August 2026 surveys from INSA and Infratest dimap place AfD at 35–36 percent, ahead of SPD at 28–29 percent, with Linke around 11–12 percent, CDU near 10 percent, and BSW, Greens, and FDP at or below the 5 percent threshold. This positions AfD as the clear frontrunner for the largest share of seats in the 71-member Landtag under the state's personalized proportional system. The current SPD–Linke coalition trails in combined support, and AfD's lead has held steady since early 2026 amid broader eastern German trends. Traders assign AfD an 87.5 percent implied probability of finishing first, consistent with the sustained polling gap, while SPD sits at 13 percent. The final weeks of campaigning, including candidate positioning by Manuela Schwesig and Leif-Erik Holm, represent the remaining variables before results determine market resolution.
