wahlrecht

Scrapes wahlrecht.de for the latest public opinion polls on the german general election (Bundestagswahl).

Installation

npm install wahlrecht

Usage

The module provides seperate methods for each institute:

• allensbach()
• emnid()
• forsa()
• politbarometer() - Forschungsgruppe Wahlen
• gms()
• dimap() - Infratest Dimap
• insa()

and a method that combines all polls:

• all()

Each method returns a promise that resolves in an array of objects like this:

{
    date: '2017-01-27T00:00:00+01:00',
    results: {
        union: 0.36,
        spd: 0.24,
        'grüne': 0.08,
        fdp: 0.06,
        linke: 0.1,
        afd: 0.11,
        sonstige: 0.05
    },
    sampleSize: 1303,
    period: '24.01.–26.01.',
    institute: 'politbarometer'
}

Simple example:

const wahlrecht = require('wahlrecht')
 
wahlrecht.all().then(console.log)
wahlrecht.dimap().then(console.log)
