According to a new survey, Germany’s Social Democrats remain in favor with voters, falling below 20 percent for the first time since last August. SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz also loses in the fictitious Federal Chancellor question.
If there were federal elections now, the SPD would get 19 percent according to the RTL/ntv “trend barometer”. Union (29 percent) and Greens (24 percent), on the other hand, rose slightly by one percentage point. FDP (seven percent), Left (four percent) and AfD (nine percent) remain unchanged from the previous week.
CDU boss Merz catches up with the Chancellor’s issue
Olaf Scholz (SPD) also endorsed the chancellor’s issue. If German citizens could directly elect the chancellor, 39 percent of all eligible voters (minus two percentage points) would currently vote for Scholz and 20 percent (plus one percent) for CDU leader Friedrich Merz.
Election polls are generally always subject to uncertainty. Partly due to declining party ties and increasingly shorter voting decisions, it is difficult for the opinion research institutes to weigh the collected data. In principle, surveys only reflect the opinion at the time of the survey and are not a prediction of the outcome of the election.
