Is this a trend reversal? In the trend barometer from RTL and ntv, the AfD fell by three percentage points in the Sunday question. The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance, on the other hand, could be happy about entering the Bundestag.
When it comes to Chancellor preference, Friedrich Merz is just ahead. 27 percent of those surveyed would choose him if they were allowed to decide between the CDU leader and SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The incumbent would receive 26 percent of the vote. 47 percent would choose neither.
Survey: Parties are not believed to be able to solve problems
Another result of the RTL/ntv trend barometer: 61 percent of those surveyed do not trust any party to solve the problems in Germany, the Union is at 17 percent, the traffic light parties together are only at 15 percent. And: The mood in the country is still bad. Only 15 percent believe that economic conditions in Germany will improve in the coming years; 63 percent believe they are getting worse. The most important political issue for Germans is the war in Ukraine, followed by the actions of the federal government and the protests against right-wing extremism last week.
