Annalena Baerbock against Armin Laschet: The Union is still not doing well in the polls for the federal election in 2021, the Greens apparently have an advantage.
Munich / Allensbach - Annalena Baerbock (The Greens) wants to become the next Chancellor of Germany, Armin Laschet (CDU) wants to defend the federal government for the Union.
The better prospects: The only 40-year-old Baerbock, and that despite the Boris Palmer scandal in her party.
This is confirmed by the next poll for the 2021 federal election (September 26th).
Survey on the 2021 federal election: next setback for Armin Laschet and CDU / CSU
Specifically: The Institute for Demoskopie Allensbach on Lake Constance, on behalf of the Bertelsmann Foundation, surveyed a total of 1,028 people between April 23 and May 6 about a representative average of the population.
Namely, whether the respondents would find a change in the federal government a good thing or not.
After 16 years of executive power under Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), who is currently heading a grand coalition (GroKo) with the SPD.
Allensbach survey on the federal election 2021 by policy area:
Environmental and climate protection policy: 55.4 percent of those questioned would like a change.
Refugee and integration policy: 54.9 percent of those questioned would like a change.
Pension policy: 53.9 percent of those surveyed would like a change.
Education policy: 52.4 percent of those surveyed would like a change.
And now the survey hammer: According to the result, 61.5 percent of German citizens want a change of government.
That is a clear vote.
Even more: This is also the highest value measured since the first survey of this question in the early 1990s, announced the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Allensbach Institute.
Only one in eight respondents would not like a change in the federal government.
Survey on the 2021 federal election: trend speaks for top candidate Annalena Baerbock and the Greens
More than 67 percent of those questioned want "a different policy in many areas," it said.
It is particularly about the environmental and climate protection policy, which is at the center of the election program of Baerbock's Greens.
In the duel between the top candidates and CDU man Armin Laschet, she is the challenger, because the Union has governed for four legislative periods.
The Greens, on the other hand, were initially part of a federal government: from 1998 to 2005 as a small coalition partner in the red-green cabinet Schröder I and II under the then Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD).
