Merkel bloc leading in EU vote, but score at historic low, exit polls show
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right bloc was leading in European elections in Germany, exit polls show, but the score was shaping out to be a historic low, at just around 28 percent.
Her coalition partner SPD was also headed for its poorest showing in an EU poll with 15.5%, two separate polls by broadcasters ARD and ZDF showed, as the party was knocked from second position by the Greens, which surged to between 20.5% and 22%.
The far-right AfD was set to improve on their 2014 score of 7.1%, with both exit polls seeing it coming in at 10.5%.
