The Union continues to nibble on the mask affair to Georg Nüßlein.
For Markus Söder and the CSU, the survey trend looks anything but good.
Munich - If there were elections next Sunday, the CSU would miss an absolute majority in the state parliament.
This is shown by a representative survey by the
Augsburger Allgemeine
for the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic.
The party would currently only come to 41.6 percent.
The mask affair surrounding politicians Georg Nüßlein (CSU) and Nikolas Löbel (CDU) is likely to have played a part in this.
The survey by the “Civey” institute also shows that satisfaction with Prime Minister Markus Söder is falling.
Only 44 percent are "very or rather satisfied" with the work of the CSU boss.
Ten percent are undecided and the majority with 46.5 percent are "somewhat or very dissatisfied".
These values are the worst since autumn 2018. At the beginning of the pandemic, Söder was 71 percent.
Elections in Baden-Württemberg: Susanne Eichmann threatens historically poor results
Corresponding surveys also show that the scandal surrounding the two members of the Bundestag Nüßlein and Löbel will also have an impact on the upcoming election Sunday.
Both in Baden-Württemberg and in Rhine-Palatinate, defeats threaten with historically poor results.
In Baden-Württemberg, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann can
count on a clear victory of seven to ten points on the CDU,
according to the
dpa
.
It is quite possible that top candidate Susanne Eisenmann will set the parliamentary group's negative record.
Then one would have to hope for a continuation of the coalition with the Greens - provided that Kretschmann refrains from a traffic light with the SPD and FDP.
CDU: Polls from Rhineland-Palatinate are also bad
In Rhineland-Palatinate, too, CDU candidate Christian Baldauf could receive an election failure.
So he was overtaken and shaken off in the polls by Prime Minister Malu Dreyer.
The popular SPD politician would like to continue with the Greens and the FDP.
The Social Democrats have been the Prime Ministers in Rhineland-Palatinate for 30 years.
There will be no changing of the guard - the last few weeks have been marked by too many Union scandals.
There are the mask affair, any lobbying allegations against MPs who are said to have been bribed from Azerbaijan, the birthday party of Klaus-Peter Willsch for the 60th and the increasingly louder criticism of Jens Spahn and Peter Altmeier for the disappointing Corona - Vaccination start to be held responsible.
In addition, the chancellor question between Markus Söder and Armin Laschet is still unresolved.
How much the Union will now be punished by the population remains to be seen.
However, the omens are bad.
