According to a survey, 61 percent of the electorate thinks it is a mistake for the Greens to vote for the Bundestag election with Annalena Baerbock and not with Robert Habeck as candidate for Chancellor.
Augsburg - According to a Civey poll, a majority of the electorate thinks it is a mistake that the Greens are going into the federal election with Annalena Baerbock and not with her co-chairman Robert Habeck as candidate for chancellor.
Accordingly, 61 percent say that the Greens made the wrong decision, and only 24 percent think Baerbock's candidacy is correct.
The rest were undecided on the question.
This is the result of a representative survey by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of the “Augsburger Allgemeine” (Saturday).
Only among supporters of the Greens does a large majority (64 percent) consider Baerbock to be the right candidate for chancellor.
Here too, however, 24 percent consider the 40-year-old's candidacy to be a mistake.
Rejection clearly outweighs all other parties.
Hardly anyone sees Baerbock as Chancellor
According to the survey, only 14 percent of German citizens now believe that Annalena Baerbock, leader of the Greens, could become the next Chancellor, while 79 percent do not give her a chance of winning the election.
After Baerbock's nomination for chancellor candidate in mid-April, the party initially experienced a high-altitude flight: it even overtook the CDU / CSU at times with polls of up to 28 percent.
With the debate about inaccurate information in Baerbock's curriculum vitae and late payments reported to the Bundestag, the values began to decline.
Most recently, there were allegations of plagiarism: the Austrian media scientist Stefan Weber had several positions in Baerbock's book “Jetzt.
How We Renew our Land ”, which showed striking similarities to other publications.
The Greens reject the allegation of alleged copyright infringement and argue, like the publisher, that the reproduction of well-known facts is unproblematic.
