After the historic defeat for the SPD in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, the current polls of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are also in the basement. Because only a little less than a third of the population considers him a strong leader.
According to the current trend barometer of RTL/ntv, 66 percent find the SPD politician “hesitant” and 30 percent “discouraged”.
Only 38% believe Scholz can lead through crises
One of Scholz’s most famous phrases is, “Anyone who entrusts management to me should know that they will get it.” Only 38 percent of those surveyed believe Scholz is good at leading through crises, while 32 percent think he is “strong at leadership.” In Sunday’s current poll ahead of the Bundestag elections, the Union leads the SPD by 27 percent (22%).
Scholz on Chancellor’s question, but clear to Merz
According to the Forsa survey, only 15 percent of those polled believe CDU leader Friedrich Merz would be a better chancellor than Scholz. On the other hand, 39 percent of those surveyed said Merz would be a worse chancellor.
