Three quarters of Rhineland-Palatinate residents expect the social situation to worsen. But satisfaction levels with their own situation are just as high.
Almost 90 percent of those surveyed say democracy is the best form of government. Support for democracy is stronger with higher levels of education and higher income. Women are the most satisfied people in the big cities, while men are the least satisfied in Koblenz, Ludwigshafen, Mainz and Trier, the survey found. The most important political problems at the moment are refugees, immigration, asylum policy and integration.
