FRANKFURT – Support for Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has dropped in an opinion poll following an anti-Semitic shooting attack near a synagogue in Halle on Wednesday, broadcaster RTL\/n-tv reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

A survey of 2,500 Germans by research institute forsa showed 11% support for AfD on Thursday, down from 13% at the beginning of the week, RTL\/n-tv reported on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prosecutors said a man accused of killing two people in the attack in Halle, eastern Germany, had confessed to the crime and to a far-right, anti-Semitic motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The man, who had published a racist and anti-Semitic manifesto and live-streamed the shooting on Wednesday, had shot the two bystanders after failing to enter the synagogue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only his poor aim and the unreliability of his home-made firearms had saved from injury nine other people he fired upon during his half-hour rampage, prosecutors said on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to another survey, by research group Emnid, support for AfD was flat at 15% while the Social Democrats (SPD), which are part of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition, dropped one percentage point to 14%, Bild am Sonntag reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

The survey was conducted over Oct 2-9, while the shooting occurred on Oct.9.<\/span><\/p>\n

That marks the first time since August that the AfD trumped SPD in an opinion poll, the paper said, while Merkel’s CDU gained one percentage point to 28% and the Greens remained unchanged at 21%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AfD has drawn on voters’ discontent with Merkel’s coalition and especially her 2015 decision to let in refugees, many from war zones in the Middle East and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Emnid polls, AfD has consistently remained above its 12.6% level of support in the 2017 general election and recently came close to becoming the largest party in two eastern German states.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a second forsa survey among people who said they do not back the far right, 90% view AfD as providing a spiritual breeding ground for right-wing extremist acts of violence through their appearance and their choice of words.<\/span><\/p>\n

None of the supporters of AfD share this view or see any responsibility for the Halle events on the part of the party, RTL\/n-tv reported.<\/span><\/p>\n
