Infratest's new “Bayerntrend” for BR magazine Controversy: Bayern continue to support the state government's corona measures with a large majority.

  • The majority of Bayern are clearly behind Prime Minister Markus Söder in the Corona crisis. 
  • However, the voters of his coalition partner Free voters are more critical.
  • Another party seems to be self-disassembling. 

Munich - At the very end of his party speech, Markus Söder had a humble moment last Friday. "I take the good surveys less seriously than the bad ones," said the Prime Minister - presumably already in anticipation of the moment when 94 percent of the Bavarians no longer attested good or even very good work. Now the new "Bayern Trend" from Infratest is on behalf of the BR magazine "Controversy" - and Söder should take it seriously, although it turns out very well again. 

Not everyone had expected the massive value for the Prime Minister again, after all Corona demos made headlines. Even from their own ranks there had been one or two sharp comments about Söder's omnipresence on all channels. But even the Greens faction leader Ludwig Hartmann says that the prime minister was a "good Bavarian carer" in the crisis - even if Hartmann now wants a more comprehensive approach: "Working together and European cohesion with open borders and free movement are allowed in the Pandemic will not be lost. " 

In any case, Bayern strengthen the back of the Prime Minister and his government team. Satisfaction with crisis management in Corona times remains very high at 67 percent. With the CSU, SPD and the Greens there are a number of people who are loosening too quickly. 

Ironically, free voters are divided: Aiwanger's party supporters disagree on corona easing

Interesting: With the exception of the AfD, the support in the opposition is significantly greater than in the coalition partner of free voters. The party of Hubert Aiwanger proves on the issue of easing as divided: 57 percent find the course correct, but 22 percent expect the easing too far. At the same time, 17 percent think that they don't go far enough. 

Due to the corona crisis: Söder is more popular than any other prime minister

Söder's personal values, with 90 percent satisfaction, are particularly high : "Infratest dimap measured such approval values for Markus Söder as no other prime minister during the Corona crisis," says "Controversial" editor-in-chief Andreas Bachmann, who commissioned the survey . CSU General Secretary Markus Blume is pleased: "This is no longer just a snapshot, it is an expression of a strong, new basic trust." 

Overall, the survey confirms the shift in the balance of power that has been evident since the Corona crisis. At 48 percent (minus one percentage point compared to April), the CSU is still in the absolute majority. It is followed by the Greens with 19 (+2), the SPD with nine (-1) and the free voters, unchanged at eight percent. The FDP and the Left would not get three percent each. 

Bavarian AfD crashes - and disassembles itself more and more

The unabated crash of the AfD , which had reached 10.2 percent in the 2018 state election, is interesting . Now the value has almost halved. "The intra-party disputes at the AfD in Bavaria and Berlin leave their mark," analyzes Bachmann. Five percent is the worst value in a “Bavaria trend” since 2015. 

This time the demos were mainly interested in corona questions, although the results are not too surprising. The question of whether politics and the media "deliberately exaggerated" the danger posed by the virus is answered in the negative by 77 percent. The 18 percent who believe this feed themselves mainly from AfD supporters - 59 percent of them say that.

Because of the Corona crisis: Hardly any Bavarian wants to travel abroad

Questions were also asked about the travel plans: 44 percent of Bavarians are therefore not planning any vacation this summer , 34 percent will stay in Germany. Only 19 percent want to travel within Europe - and five percent are considering a trip outside Europe despite all travel warnings. Overall, the fear of the virus is decreasing. Eight percent are still very worried, while 26 percent say the danger is small.
