Generally speaking I have little trust in polls even if I assume that no rigging takes place, especially if it is done by official sources through telephones. I most cases I don’t think you will get a true representation of what all germans would vote. Because, among other things, there are surely many people who would think/vote for AfD who simply wouldn’t take part in polls. And that factor alone means that is more likely that those that take part in such polls would favor establishment parties.
As for the results of the kids voting, firstly, I think that was mentioned on mainstream radio a couple of days ago as well, and they even mentioned explicitly that those results are not representative. Secondly, I would say that most young people naturally tend to be much more liberal/lefty and easier to manipulate than older more experienced people. I certainly think that most of us here (me included) can agree that that has been the case for us too when we were younger.

The only thing that comes to mind why the "Deeper State" would do that is something like this: the end of the liberal order, and with it the end of the EU as we know it, is pretty much a done deal. But given the inertia in Europe, it might take a while till this plays out, and may cause all kinds of unpredictable chaos in the meantime. So, maybe someone (or something) wants to accelerate the timeline to achieve certain outcomes in that regard, like sort of a controlled demolition where they think they can "fix" the result of such a process? Certainly strange.
