Gloomy Germans vote in election which conservatives are set to win

Germans are voting in an election on February 22, 2025, where Friedrich Merz's conservatives are expected to regain power, and the far-right Alternative for Germany is likely to achieve its best result ever.
Public sentiment has shifted, with only 27% of Germans reporting improving living standards, down from 42% in 2023, according to Gallup.
The far-right AfD is anticipated to secure second place, while unpopular Chancellor Olaf Scholz may remain in a caretaker role for months, as noted by The Associated Press.
Analysts suggest that the outcome may lead to a coalition between Merz's Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats , which is currently in third place.
