The Union remains the most popular party among Germans at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be Friedrich Merz's fault.

A bitter pill for the SPD too: it keeps losing.

Berlin - There is no good news from the voters for the ruling party SPD: According to a recent political survey, it is losing popularity and only gets 18 percent approval.

Compared to the previous week, it loses one percent in the current RTL/ntv trend barometer and thus has the worst value in a year.

On the other hand, the Union, which is the party with the greatest popularity at 27 percent, can increase again.

The FDP also gains a point and is now at seven percent.

Compared to the previous week, the Greens come to 24 percent - three points behind the CDU / CSU.

The AfD remains at ten percent, the left at five percent.

Chancellor's question: According to the trend barometer, CDU leader Merz is the most unpopular candidate

But although the Union is currently the most popular party - CDU leader Friedrich Merz does not come off particularly well when asked who one would elect directly as chancellor.

19 percent would choose him if they had the choice between Olaf Scholz (SPD), Robert Habeck (Greens) and him - after all, that's one percent more than last week.

Habeck lost two percentage points, but at 28 percent is still clearly the one most people want as chancellor.

Scholz comes to 23 percent and thus also loses two points.

At 74 percent, Habeck's support among Green Party supporters is still significantly greater than that of Scholz among SPD supporters (61 percent) and that of Merz among supporters of the Union (45 percent).

Current survey: These are the biggest concerns of Germans

According to the RTL/ntv trend barometer, the greatest concern of Germans remains the security of the energy supply and the fear of whether energy will still be affordable.

67 percent of respondents named this as the most important issue - before the Ukraine war (59 percent).

Then comes the corona virus (19 percent), then the topic of climate and environment (13 percent).

The data of the representative survey was collected by the market and opinion research institute forsa on behalf of RTL from July 26 to August 1, 2022.

A German could now unexpectedly get to know Chancellor Scholz personally: he appeared at his mountain hut - there was a photo and a familiar "Du".
