  • I compared these numbers to the general population (Source: https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ )

    Support for the far right AfD is about 5 percentage points lower than among the general population (12% vs 17%)

    For the conservative CDU/CSU it is 10 pp lower (20% vs 30%)

    For the Social Democrats it is 3 pp lower (12% vs 15%)

    For the liberal FDP it is 4 pp higher (8% vs 4%)

    For the Greens it is about 4 pp higher (18% vs 14%)

    For the Wagenknecht alliance, a weird mix of far right and far left, it is about the same (5%)

    Unfortunately this article doesn’t mention the socialist left, which for the general population sits at around 3%

    So, to conclude (and from my own experience) youths in Germany don’t deviate that much from the general population in terms of their political views. They tend to be less conservative and xenophobic. Most of them are somewhere in the center, having slightly more liberal tendencies than the general population.
