Despite the CDU/CSU alliance maintaining a lead as the strongest overall political bloc in national projections, voter skepticism regarding Merz’s leadership has impacted his favorability. Public dissatisfaction with the current federal coalition, combined with ongoing debates surrounding economic conditions and migration policy, continues to drive shifts in party support across the country.

- CDU Chairman Friedrich Merz is experiencing declining personal popularity and approval ratings among surveyed voters.
- The conservative CDU/CSU bloc remains the leading political force in general election projections despite leadership favorability challenges.

Wer sagt das? Irgendein amerikanischer Pollster? Die Bild?
Die Destablilisierung Deutschlands liegt im Interesse der Mächtigen (Elon beispielsweise hat seine Lieblingspartei klar benannt) und ihr macht fröhlich mit.
Merz wird für seinen Alleingang beim Waffenstopp letztes Jahr bestraft. Er war und ist leider nicht ganz so brav, wie man sich das bei Springer und Co gewünscht hat.
Vote AFD! Its the only way forward
😌😌😌😌😌
Is Alice still living in Switzerland with her partner?
(Shadowed Banned) He will be heading for His Bunker……and will try and Sneak of to Argentina may be??
Just don’t let a failed painter become prime minister
Thats the first time I'm hoping Alice is right: the CDU never winning another election would be a great relief for Germany. But only if the same is true for the AFD.
The damage the Far Left has done to the world is permanent. All we can do now is stop the bleeding.
The Far Right disappeared in 1945. AFD just an ordinary common sense Conservative party.
Germany must to be like German in Second World War. German must to continue to help Ukraine with nuclear weapon against Russia.
The AFD is the only party that can save Germany
‘elensky curse😅
The man with the green T-shirt is destroying Europe. European leaders are too obsessed with Ukraine much more than taking care of their own people. Billions going to Ukraine while their economies suffer, the irony is they do seem to see it. Wake up Europe!
AFD ❤
PM Narendra Modi has not taken a single day off in 12 years. And this merz goes on vacation during wildfires and while the Germans struggle to pay bills?
People? No. Matthew Moore and DW have a problem with AFD gaining strength. Metz is a liar and a complete failure.
this guy looks like an old Ben Shapiro
Germany has 2 options, 1 Use the Romania model of deliberately ruling out the Afd OR Option 2 Use the EU leverage as they did to Victor Orban to remove the AfD if they are elected.
Merc put Germany in debt to support
Ukraine Starmer,Merc, & Macron has the
lowest polling in Europe, because they
neglect their own country for another 🎯
Governments that stand against Gaza and international law end up being replaced. That was the case with Biden, Starker and now Merz.
The socialists in Germany are the same as they were in 1936. They merely removed the word national. A perpetual disregard for democracy and an enduring belief in state controlled violence to enforce group obedience among the ethnic Germans.
When the Centre fails/refuses to address society's challenges, the fringe becomes the only voice the electors find to turn to. It's like trying to debate after taking a vow of silence. Why won't Europe's political elites grasp this concept???
AfD👍🏼👍🏼
Honestly, no one can save Germany at this point. Whoever the next chancellor is, he or she needs to heed the advice of Otto von Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, to make peace with Russia. Forget Ukraine. That's the blackhole that will suck Germany dry.
USA already committed a suicide electing maga populists, Germany follows suit on its track to the same catastrophe. Thank you for clearing the way for China-Russia dictatorship axis
There is a new class of Bruxelle politicians who just do what the people does not want.
You are elected for your country and yet you only push for ukraine and europe, what a mess.
What did some of your expats come home from America?
AfD will win and in a year or two most germans will regret. It what happened with MAGA and Trump.
Vote AfD – restore your borders and remigrate out all the illegals and asylum-creepers who have invaded.
That became freddy looks like he has a stick up where the sun doesn't shine.
This happens when you betray Germans for foreigners
The pro choice, anti gun, pro immigration “conservative”
Mertz.
Why is it called "Far-Right” instead of "conservative"?
It is understandable since CDU and SPD have both failed! Germany is just a colony of the US/Israel nexus. But most Germans, irrespective of their orientation, probably wants a Germany that is sovereign and asserts its own economic, national and geopolitical interests, especially when these are in conflict with the US, people want Germany First. How does propping up a US proxy war on Russia – the source of Germany's energy that kept German industry competitive for decades – a war which the US has walked away from, help Germany? How does supporting a hated Israel regime, which puts Germany on the wrong side of a geopolitical divide in which the vast majority of the world are on the other side, help Germany?
He is an undereducated, lying lawyer. once he started lying the honeymoon was over.
Fundamentally the German population hasn't changed in the last 80-something years. I look forward to Nuremberg 2.0
Lets go AFD😂
The only thing Maerz doesnt struggle with is personal donations
Didn't the world fight Germany against this once?
Lessons not learned? Try again?
Mertz is done he is not a leader; the confidence is lost Steinmeir is basically the ruler of Germany that I have confidence in he as president has ultimate authority and will deny AfD a position in reichstag will not make the same mistake like Hindenburg; German people have to understand just like under the Prussia’s who holds power in Germany and why people like the president of Germany exist for reasons like this; the AfD will not form a government trust me
AfD = Controlled Opposition
At this point being called "far right" by public broadcasters pretty much guarantees more voters, don't you think?
And he is a war monger.
Vacation? Bro 🤦🏾♂️
