BERLIN - The Social Democrats, Germany’s main centre-left party, appears headed for its worst-ever result in a state election in Bremen, which it has run for 73 years, as well as a dire showing in the European Parliament election. Exit polls for ARD and ZDF television put support for the Social Democrats at 24.5% and the centre-right Christian Democratic Union, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, up to 26.5%. The Social Democrats could finish second in the northwestern city-state, Germany’s smallest, for the first time.
