Contributing sentiments towards policy:
58% : In Thuringia -- a former state of communist east Germany -- the AfD's brand of anti-establishment revisionism has struck a particular chord.43% : But this year it has lurched from controversy to controversy: in January party officials were revealed to have met extreme ethno-nationalists, triggering mass protests across Germany; it then faced spying scandals over senior party members' links to Russia and China; and last week the AfD's top candidate in upcoming EU elections was forced to resign after telling the Financial Times that he thought some members of the Nazi SS were unfairly maligned.
39% : The hard-left Die Linke party, which scored the largest overall share of the vote in the last elections and leads the state government, also lost ground.
