Didn't an excellent government response to floods also help in 2002? Excellent Schröder marketing, yes. True, the SPD is far behind the CDU (29 vs. 42%), but the problem is that we have two new Pied Pipers, Lafontaine & Gysi. They have founded a new Socialist party which has rapidly gained followership and is currently stronger (10%) than the Greens and the FDP (9% and 6%). wahlrecht.de Thus it's CDU + FDP, 48%, and SPD + Greens + Pipers, 48% - a tie.
