Last German polls confirm Merkel's lead
By EUobserver
Two days ahead of German federal elections on Sunday, Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU party is credited with 36% of voting intentions, well ahead of Martin Schulz's SPD (21.5%). The far-right AfD party follows with 11%, ahead of the liberal FDP (10%). This would leave only two possible coalitions: CDU/CSU with SPD, or a so-called Jamaica coalition between the CDU/CSU, the FDP and the Greens, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper explains.
