Alternative for Germany reached 30% in polls, gaining 1% over the week. The CDU/CSU dropped to a historical low of 18%.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (72/100).

The claims regarding the Alternative for Germany (AfD) reaching 30% in the polls and the CDU/CSU dropping to 18% are supported by multiple sources, including GMS and INSA polls. However, there is no evidence supporting the claim that the AfD gained 1% over the week. The historical low for the CDU/CSU is confirmed by several sources, indicating a significant drop in their ratings. The opinion claim about the opposition's visibility is subjective and cannot be factually verified.
