Movement on the K question is just as meaningless in itself as the ups and downs of the parties in the political mood.
However, the connection between the various curves clearly shows the momentum of the election campaign six weeks before September 26th: At the beginning of the “hot phase” things couldn't go any better for the Social Democrats.

It is now paying off that the party stoically relied on Olaf Scholz.
It dwarfs its two competitors not only in terms of government experience.
Moreover, his messages are precisely tailored to the electorate in which the Social Democrats can win the most: the working majority of society.
At the start of the (absurdly early) postal voting phase, the strategists did a great job.
But not just them.
While the SPD was particularly successful in earlier federal election campaigns in dismantling its top candidate, the ranks of the party and parliamentary group are closed as seldom.
What derailed as a Schulz train four years ago has now started as a Scholz train.
But you shouldn't be blinded by the truce. After the election, the Eskens, the Kühnerts and the Mützenichs will present the bill for their standing still. This could also turn out to be too high for Scholz because he is not a figurehead of red-green-red, but the FDP is unlikely to be available for a policy to the gusto of the SPD left.
