Shocking Poll: ‘Shy Musk Voters’ Could Propel AfD to Historic Win
A new survey by the Washington-based Democracy Institute has sent shockwaves through Germany’s political landscape.
The poll suggests the Euroskeptic Alternative for Germany (AfD) is on the verge of a major electoral breakthrough, with an unexpected boost from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
The poll reveals that AfD has surged to 25% support, making it the second-strongest party in Germany.
The conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) lead with just 27%, leaving a tight race between the two parties.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats (SPD) trail in third place with 15%, while the Greens hold 13%.
In an even more surprising twist, the Alternative for Germany co-chair Alice Weidel has emerged as the most popular candidate for chancellor, with 35% of voters backing her.
She leads CDU leader Friedrich Merz by nine points, a significant margin that signals growing public support for the right-wing party.
One of the most intriguing findings of the survey is the impact of Elon Musk’s endorsement.
A striking 28% of Germans say they are more likely to vote for AfD due to Musk’s backing. In contrast, 23% say they are “less likely” to support the party because of his involvement.
Patrick Basham, director of the Democracy Institute, coined the term “shy Musk voter” to describe this emerging trend.
These are individuals who may not openly express their support for AfD but are influenced by Musk’s outspoken political views and endorsements.
Germany’s snap elections are scheduled for February 23, setting the stage for a high-stakes political battle.
With the AfD gaining momentum and Musk’s influence proving significant, the country could be heading toward one of the most unpredictable elections in recent history.
