A new poll indicates Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is poised to become the leading force in the eastern state of Saxony Anhalt's September election, potentially marking the first time the party heads a regional government. The infratest dimap survey shows AfD support at 41%, significantly ahead of the conservative CDU's 26%. Disillusionment with the current coalition and concerns over an energy shock from the Iran war are contributing factors.
