In einer Umfrage vom 09.07.2026 wird die AfD mit 36 Prozent als stärkste Kraft in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern gemessen, während die SPD auf 29 Prozent steigt. Die Grünen könnten mit 5 Prozent erstmals seit langer Zeit im Landtag vertreten sein, was eine Dreiparteienkoalition (Rot-Rot-Grün) ermöglichen würde. Diese Kombination würde 46 Prozent der Stimmen bedeuten, was eine knappe Mehrheit für eine Regierungsbildung darstellen würde. Manuela Schwesig (SPD), Ministerpräsidentin, betont, dass die SPD weiterhin aufholen müsse, während die AfD stabil bleibt.
