Berlin - The corona numbers are increasing rapidly while the vaccination rate has stalled.

Nevertheless, Germany continues to refrain from compulsory vaccination, instead increasing the pressure on unvaccinated people through new regulations in order to master the pandemic.

But according to a new survey, the majority of Germans would be in favor of compulsory vaccination with regard to the coronavirus - meanwhile, because the mood had looked different in August.

A clear change in the mood.

Survey data

For the ARD Germany trend of November 4, a total of 1329 people were surveyed in the period from November 2 to 3, 2021.

The survey method was a random telephone and online survey among those eligible to vote in Germany.

A total of 869 telephone interviews and 460 online interviews were carried out.
