Germany: Poll Indicates Greens Are Most Popular Opposition Party, Outpacing Social Democrats

From Deutsche Welle:

The 30-year-old Green Party in Germany appeared to have broken a major barrier on Wednesday as a poll suggested it has surpassed the older Social Democratics as the country's most popular opposition party.

The poll, conducted by Berlin-based pollster Forsa and sponsored by Stern magazine and private broadcaster RTL, found that 24 percent of Germans would vote for the Greens in an election, up one percentage point from last week. The Social Democrats (SPD) dropped two points to 23 percent.
