Berlin - The general election will take place in September.

Angela Merkel will not run for Chancellor again and the Union has not yet decided who will be its candidate for Chancellor.

In the Forsa Institute's trend barometer published on Wednesday for

RTL

and

n-tv

, the Greens are only four percentage points behind the Union.

In addition, the polls for the CDU party leader Armin Laschet do not look good.

According to the trend barometer, Laschet is the most unpopular candidate for chancellor.

Will Söder become the Union's candidate for chancellor?

- Laschet scores poorly in the poll

The Forsa survey asked which of the candidates for chancellor the respondents would vote for if they could do so through a direct election.

If Armin Laschet were to run against Robert Habeck and Olaf Scholz in the election, Laschet and Scholz would each have only 17 percent of the vote.

Habeck, on the other hand, would have 5 percentage points more.

Assuming Annalena Baerbock would compete against Laschet and Scholz, she would also have significantly more approval with 23 percent.

17 percent would opt for the SPD chancellor candidate Scholz and 16 percent for Laschet.

Forsa interviewed 1,501 people from March 30 to April 1 for the survey.

According to the institute, the margin of error in the survey is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

However, the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder received the

most approval from the

trend barometer.

If the Union were to put him up as a candidate for chancellor, the polls would look much better than with Laschet as a candidate for chancellor.

At the moment, 38 percent would decide in favor of CSU boss Söder if he were to compete against Robert Habeck and Olaf Scholz.

Habeck would get 19 percent in this constellation, Scholz 13 percent.

If his counter-candidates were Annalena Baerbock and Olaf Scholz, Söder would also be clearly ahead with 39 percent.

The head of the Greens would have 20, Olaf Scholz 14 percent.

Against Annalena Baerbock, Söder would do 23 percentage points better than CDU boss Armin Laschet.

Between Easter and Pentecost it should be clarified in the Union who should take over the candidacy for chancellor.

Some CDU MPs are asking

Spiegel to have a

say on the K question.

Green candidate for chancellor: Baerbock in survey before Habeck

Another question that remains open is that of the Greens candidate for chancellor.

According to the results of the survey, party leader Annalena Baerbock has overtaken her co-chairman Robert Habeck.

Baerbock was for the first time in the candidate preference of the respondents before Habeck.

Against a Union candidate Markus Söder (CSU) Baerbock would get 20 percent approval, Habeck 19 percent.

Against a candidate Armin Laschet (CDU) Baerbock would achieve 23 percent and Habeck 22 percent.

The Greens announced on Wednesday that they want to nominate their candidate for the Chancellery on April 19.

The party is still at a high in the polls and has the goal of replacing the Union as the strongest force for the first time in the federal election on September 26th.

In Wednesday's trend barometer, they came to 23 percent and were only just behind the Union with 27 percent.

The SPD achieved 15 percent, the FDP and AfD each ten percent and the left seven percent.

The year 2021 is a super election year and in the first two elections in Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg in March, the CDU achieved historically poor poll numbers.
