According to a recent survey, 62 percent of Germans are dissatisfied with the work of Chancellor Scholz. 65 percent say this about the work of the entire traffic light coalition. The government has thus slipped to its worst popularity rating since it took office.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and his traffic light coalition have fallen to their worst popularity ratings since taking office in early December. According to a representative survey by the opinion research institute INSA for “Bild am Sonntag”, 62 percent of people in Germany are dissatisfied with Scholz’s work, more than ever before.
Only 25 percent rate Scholz positively. The values for the traffic light coalition are also at a low point. 65 percent are dissatisfied with the work of the federal government, only 27 percent are satisfied. At the beginning of March, 46 percent of people in Germany were still satisfied with Scholz’s work, only 39 percent were dissatisfied.
At the time, 44 percent said the traffic light coalition was doing a good job, while 43 percent disagreed. If the Chancellor were elected directly, Scholz would only come third. According to the survey, 25 percent would choose Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens), 19 percent for CDU leader Friedrich Merz and only 18 percent for Scholz.
Meanwhile, the Union parties can continue to increase in favor with the voters. In the Sunday trend, which the opinion research institute INSA collects weekly for the “Bild”, the CDU/CSU come to 28 percent, which is one percentage point more than in the previous week.
This puts the Union seven points ahead of the Greens, who reach 21 percent (minus 1). The SPD remains unchanged at 19 percent, the FDP loses one point to 8 percent. This puts the traffic light together at just 48 percent. The AfD is unchanged at 12 percent and the left at 5 percent. The other parties would get 7 percent (1) of the votes.
