BERLIN, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Germany's Green Party slumped to its lowest approval rating since the federal election in 2017, according to the RTL/ntv trend barometer conducted by the Forsa Institute.

The latest survey, published on Tuesday, showed that support for the Greens declined to 9 percent, marking a significant decline from their highs three years ago.

In 2017, the Greens won 8.9 percent of the vote in the federal election.

Since then, their support rate has kept rising significantly. In the 2021 federal election, the Greens won 14.7 percent of the vote.

This downturn comes amid internal disagreements on budget and other key issues within the ruling coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democratic Party (FDP).

According to the Forsa survey, the conservative union of CDU/CSU kept leading the polls, gaining another percentage point to 32 percent, followed by the right-wing Alternative for Germany party (AfD) with a 17 percent poll rate.

The Greens' co-leaders Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour in September announced that they would step down following a heavy blow in the state election in Brandenburg. Enditem
