Prime Minister Markus Söder was able to make up ground in terms of popularity in a representative survey – but almost half of Bavarians are still dissatisfied with their work. A total of 49 percent gave in a survey published on Friday by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of the Augsburg General to be “rather” or “very” dissatisfied with it. This is five percentage points less than in the survey in the previous month.
38 percent were “very” or “rather” satisfied with the work of the CSU politician, 13 percent were “undecided”. The question was asked from February 17th to March 17th to more than 5,000 Bavarians selected to be representative of the population.
According to the Civey survey, if there were state elections on Sunday, the CSU and Free Voters together would get 46 percent of the votes. As in the survey last month, the free voters would reach ten percent. The CSU lose one percentage point and come to 36 percent – that would be a weaker result than in the 2018 election (37.2 percent). The Greens emerged as the strongest winners compared to the previous month’s survey, with an increase of three percentage points to 17 percent. As in the previous month, the SPD comes to 14 percent, the FDP remains at its value of eight percent. The AfD loses one percentage point of approval and falls to seven percent.
