Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is the most popular politician in the cabinet.
A green also follows in second place.
The situation remains difficult for the SPD and its chancellor.
Berlin - Annalena Baerbock in the survey high: Every second German is satisfied with the work of the foreign minister - in the cabinet of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) no other politician has such high approval ratings.
This was the result of an INSA survey commissioned by
Bild am Sonntag
.
Economics Minister Robert Habeck (46 percent satisfaction) also came in second place.
With Annalena Baerbock and Habeck, the Greens are the most popular government politicians.
Survey: Only 38 percent are satisfied with Olaf Scholz
On the other hand, things are looking bad for the chancellor.
49 percent are dissatisfied with his work, only 38 percent are satisfied.
It is the worst value so far in Olaf Scholz's tenure.
The chancellor recently came under pressure in the debate about heavy arms deliveries to Ukraine.
There is public rumbling in the coalition.
The Greens and FDP would like to give Ukraine more support in the war against Russia, but the SPD is holding back.

At the Liberal party conference at the weekend, party leader and Finance Minister Christian Lindner expressed the FDP's confidence in the chancellor.
At the same time, however, the liberals underlined their demand for heavy weapons for Ukraine.
FDP defense expert Marie-Agnes Strack Zimmermann had recently even risen to become a kind of opponent of the chancellor.
Survey: SPD behind Union, Greens with strong values
According to INSA, the Social Democrats are in the favor of the voters with 25 percent, as in the previous week, just behind the Union, which comes to 26 percent.
The Greens are at 18 percent, the FDP at nine.
Left and AfD come to five and eleven percent.
A majority (55 percent) is dissatisfied with the work of the federal government.
This is probably due in large part to the SPD.
60 percent of those surveyed are critical of the SPD's Russia-friendly policies, and only 13 percent approve of this course.
