Support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has risen to 25 percent, according to a survey by public opinion research firm INSA.
This increase is the first since mid-May, German news agency dpa reported on Sunday. The poll, conducted weekly for the Sunday edition of Bild newspaper, recorded a one-percentage-point increase in the party's popularity.
Another public opinion polling company, Forsa, also recently reported that the anti-immigrant AfD party enjoys 25 percent support.
The AfD continues to fight for first place in the polls, months after Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative bloc won parliamentary elections in February.
In the INSA poll, other parties maintained the support recorded last week.
The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union (CSU), held on to first place with 27 percent support, while their coalition partner, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), has 15 percent.
The Greens have 11 percent support and the far-left Die Linke party has 10 percent.
The populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) has four percent support, according to the poll, and the Liberal Democratic Party (FDP) has three percent.
1,203 people participated in the survey between July 28 and August 1. (A2 Televizion)
