Far-Right Party AfD Leads Berlin Polls for First Time

For the first time, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party leads a opinion poll in Berlin, months before the capital votes. Berlin has long backed mainstream parties. The poll, published July 23 by INSA, follows the AfD's reelection of co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla at a July congress in Erfurt, where thousands protested outside.
