“The Social Democrats clearly succeeded in winning back some of the undecided Social Democratic voters as a result of the good impression Gerhard Schroeder gave in the TV duel.”
“There's a bit of a feeling of helplessness in the air. Most people think the Social Democrats aren't capable of governing the country. Some think they don't want to. But only a few people have big hopes of what a Christian Democrat-led government can do.”
“Even though there are probably a lot of nonvoters among the people who are undecided, this proportion of uncertain voters indicates continuing movement even shortly before the election.”
“Some of the undecided SPD voters have come back and that is what has given them the extra three points. We'll have to wait to see if they can hold on to them.”
