BERLIN Germany’s Social Democrats (SPD) gained ground in a poll published on Friday as they continued to benefit from their choice of Martin Schulz as candidate for a Sept. 24 federal election, while Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives shed support.
The poll, carried out by Forschungsgruppe Wahlen for broadcaster ZDF, showed the SPD gaining 6 percentage points to reach 30 percent support – its highest level in this legislative period in this particular poll – while Merkel’s conservative bloc lost 2 points to 34 percent.
