According to a recent survey, two thirds of Germans are in favor of an SPD-led federal government.
On the other hand, 70 percent think a Jamaica coalition is not a good idea - the majority of FDP voters are also against it.
Berlin - It's not going well for Armin Laschet.
This became particularly clear on Thursday when he announced a press conference and everyone immediately assumed that he would resign.
But he wanted to talk about something else.
The current survey DeutschlandTrend by infratest dimap on behalf of
ARD also
shows that support among the population is shrinking.
Even the FDP voters, who are actually more inclined to the Union, are now in favor of a traffic light coalition.
Almost 80 percent of Germans think Laschet is not a good Federal Chancellor
The DeutschlandTrend survey interviewed 1,318 people randomly between October 4th and 6th in telephone and online interviews about their opinion. With a clear result: 78 percent of those surveyed do not think Armin Laschet is a good Federal Chancellor. Only 14 percent spoke out in favor of him. After all, two thirds of Germans (63 percent) see Olaf Scholz as a good chancellor, which means that the Federal Finance Minister can convince the majority of the electorate.
Approval for Jamaica is also falling: 70 percent of those questioned think the coalition of CDU / CSU, Greens and FDP is not a good idea.
Only 25 percent are in favor of this alliance.
A trend can be seen: In October 2017, more than half (57 percent) were in favor of the Jamaica coalition.
Only Union voters are still convinced of this coalition, 63 percent of them support Jamaica.
Supporters of other parties are critical of the Jamaica Alliance.
53 percent of the FDP supporters also speak out against it.
To dismiss this survey only as a snapshot falls short: Also a Forsa survey on behalf of
RTL
and
ntv
from Wednesday paints a similar picture.
80 percent of those questioned were in favor of Laschet's resignation, while only 22 percent supported a Jamaica coalition.
This is what Germans think about mask requirements, minimum wages and speed limits
The speed limit on German autobahns emotionalises many German citizens more than few other issues.
To pound the Autobahn as fast as you can seems to be the last bit of freedom for some.
For others, this is an affront in times of the climate crisis.
The nationwide trend shows the population split accordingly: the majority (53 percent) are in favor of the introduction of a speed limit, 44 percent are against.
When it comes to the minimum wage, however, there is more consensus among respondents. Three quarters (74 percent) believe that a minimum wage of 12 euros per hour is a good idea. However, only 21 percent believe that this step would put jobs at risk. There is also agreement on a topic that experts see clearly differently: 71 percent of parents with school-age children want to abolish the mask requirement in schools, only 27 percent want to keep the mask in classrooms. The RKI boss Lothar Wieler had only recently advised to maintain infection protection in schools after several federal states had already abolished the mask requirement.
The DeutschlandTrend also shows that respondents are not satisfied with the results of the Bundestag election: four percent are very satisfied, 36 percent satisfied, but the majority, at 41 percent, are less satisfied and 16 percent even admit “not at all satisfied” be.
However, this is not uncommon.
In a non-representative survey of 92,355 users in 2017,
according to
Stern
, around 62 percent of voters were dissatisfied with the result of the 2017 federal election.
Every third person said they were satisfied.
Both surveys cannot be directly compared methodologically, but the tendency is clear: Germans are rarely really satisfied with the results of the elections.
