100 Tage nach Amtsantritt ist eine Mehrheit mit Bundeskanzler Merz und seiner Regierung nicht zufrieden. Laut Umfrage für die "Bild am Sonntag" sind 59 Prozent der Befragten mit der Arbeit des Kanzlers unzufrieden und nur 30 Prozent zufrieden.

Overview

  • Sixty percent of Germans are dissatisfied with Merz’s government, with just 27 percent expressing satisfaction after 100 days in office.
  • Merz’s personal approval rating of 30 percent trails the 43 percent satisfied with Olaf Scholz at the same point in 2022.
  • The governing CDU/CSU–SPD coalition polls at 42 percent combined, well short of a majority needed in the Bundestag.
  • The AfD has risen to 25 percent support in recent voting intentions, cementing its position as the second-strongest party.
  • Chancellor’s Office Minister Thorsten Frei has defended the government’s decision to pause certain arms exports, stressing that Germany’s commitment to Israel’s security remains firm.
