A survey for the 2021 federal election examines the effects of the chancellor's crisis management in the flood disaster.
Annalena Baerbock has to take a surprise, Olaf Scholz improves.
Munich / Berlin - Armin Laschet (CDU) lacked the format of a crisis manager in the flood disaster in the Eifel, says
Merkur's head of
politics Christian Deutschländer in a comment - and is apparently not alone with this assessment.
In a survey by the opinion research
institute Civey
on behalf of the news magazine
Spiegel
, only 26 percent of those questioned certified that the Union's candidate for chancellor had a crisis competence in the event of natural disasters.
However, it is unclear whether the snapshot will have an impact on the federal election in 2021.
Climate protection, which is now being discussed omnipresent in Germany, is after all the core issue of the Greens and their candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock.
Survey on the 2021 federal election: Annalena Baerbock loses percentages, Armin Laschet stagnates
Does the flood disaster in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate increase the chances of the Greens with their climate policy election program almost automatically?
Not if there is another recent poll.

For example, the opinion research institute
Kantar
investigated
on behalf of
FOCUS magazine
whether the latest climate protection debate would help Green top candidate Annalena Baerbock further upwards in the polls.
The result: at least according to this survey, exactly the opposite is the case.
According to Kantar, the Greens even lose a percentage point and stand at 19 percent in the Sunday question.
Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet and the CDU and CSU are stagnating at 28 percent.
Also not an intoxicating value, CSU boss Markus Söder had proclaimed a target of up to 35 percent weeks ago.
Survey on the 2021 federal election: only SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz can gain after the flood
Only the SPD around Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz can gain one percentage point in the Kantar survey, to 16 percent.
So the flood disaster, including the climate policy debate, is having no effect?
Individual experts have a completely different opinion.
"Let's put it this way: This flood, this environmental catastrophe, of which nobody doubts that it has anything to do with climate change, is of course a massive intervention in this election campaign," said campaign expert Frank Stauss of the
world
, for example
: “By then the election was basically over.
The CDU would become the strongest party, and Armin Laschet can choose who he governs with. ”The same applies: It remains exciting.
Until September 26th.
