Defense Minister Lambrecht came in last place in a poll.
The traffic light coalition also receives bad news – in contrast to Söder.
Berlin – Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) has probably had the most demanding job of a German defense minister in a long time since the outbreak of the Ukraine war and the necessary upgrading of the German armed forces.
And yet the SPD woman has had to struggle on the sidelines for months - partly caused by herself.
The most recent example: a video about New Year's Eve that the minister published on Twitter and that was criticized by many as completely inappropriate.
Before that, there was a fuss about a helicopter flight with her son to Sylt.
The acknowledgment comes immediately: In a recent poll by the opinion research institute Insa, commissioned by
Bild
, Lambrecht came in last place among 20 politicians.
She is even less popular than the AfD bosses Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, who previously had the last place in the popularity poll for themselves.

Christine Lambrecht in the poll debacle: As the first SPD politician in last place
This makes the Minister of Defense the first SPD politician to come in last place since the ranking was created, as Insa boss Hermann Binkert
explained to
Bild .
“So far, AfD politicians have subscribed to it.
Your reputation seems irreparable,” is his conclusion.
Compared to the previous week, Lambrecht has lost four points and now has an approval rating of 28.8 percent.
She lost popularity with voters of all parties.
AfD boss Tino Chrupalla (32.3 points) came in second to last, left boss Janine Wissler came in 18th place, AfD boss Alice Weidel in 17th place.
Current survey by Insa: Traffic light coalition no longer achieves a majority
According to the Insa survey, there is also bad news for the traffic light coalition as a whole: If there were federal elections next Sunday, they would no longer achieve a majority.
The SPD, Greens and FDP together would only get 45 percent.
A parliamentary majority, on the other hand, would currently have a Jamaica coalition of Union, Greens and FDP (52.2 percent).
CSU boss Markus Söder can laugh well: According to the Insa ranking, he is now the most popular politician in Germany, followed by left-wing politician Sahra Wagenknecht and Green Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) comes in ninth place, followed by opposition leader Friedrich Merz (CDU) in 10th place.

Lambrecht: Union calls for resignation after New Year's Eve video - Scholz sticks by her
Political support is crumbling for Lambrecht, who came last: the Union has called on the defense minister to resign several times after the series of breakdowns and the faux pas with the New Year's Eve video.
She was "not up to the job", recently criticized CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt.
Chancellor Scholz has so far stood by his minister – at least to the outside world.
Perhaps also because Lambrecht is not his only problem minister and the trouble would probably not be over just by replacing her.
