According to a Forsa poll for the star 47 percent of Germans are satisfied or even very satisfied with the work of Boris Pistorius. Only 18 percent are less or not at all satisfied. 35 percent have not yet formed an opinion or do not want to comment.
The enthusiasm among the supporters of the SPD is particularly great at 67 percent, but Pistorius also finds a lot of approval among the voters of the other traffic light parties (Greens: 55 percent, FDP: 51 percent). 57 percent of the Union voters are also satisfied. Only the AfD voters paint a different picture: Only 28 percent are satisfied, 46 percent are dissatisfied.
