“Germany trend”: majority dissatisfied with the federal government
Bad report for the traffic lights: 82 percent of people in Germany are dissatisfied with the federal government. And Chancellor Scholz’s reputation is also declining.
According to a recent survey, a clear majority of people in Germany are dissatisfied with the work of the Federal Government. 82 percent, 6 points more than in November, expressed this opinion, as shown in a survey by the opinion research institute Infratest Dimap for the ARD “Germany Trend”.
Only 17 percent are satisfied with the traffic light government. The values for Chancellor Olaf Scholz are somewhat better. 20 percent of people are satisfied with their work, which is 8 points less than in the previous month. Nevertheless, almost every second person (48 percent) attests that the Chancellor acted prudently.
Union at 32 percent, AfD at 21 percent
According to the survey, the SPD loses slightly. If there were a federal election on Sunday, 14 percent of people would choose the party (-2). The Greens would get 15 percent (+1), the FDP would narrowly miss out on entering the Bundestag with an unchanged 4 percent. The strongest force in the survey is the Union, which gained 2 points to 32 percent. The AfD is behind with 21 percent (-1). The left would only get 3 percent (-2).
For the survey, the Infratest Dimap institute surveyed more than 1,300 eligible voters in Germany. Election surveys are generally always subject to uncertainty. Among other things, weakening party ties and increasingly short-term voting decisions make it more difficult for opinion research institutes to weight the data collected. In principle, surveys only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not predictions of the election outcome.
