Berlin Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and his traffic light coalition have fallen to their worst popularity ratings since taking office in early December. According to a survey by the opinion research institute Insa for “Bild am Sonntag”, 62 percent of people in Germany are dissatisfied with Scholz’s work, more than ever before. Only 25 percent rate Scholz positively.
The values for the traffic light coalition are also at a low point. 65 percent are dissatisfied with the work of the federal government, only 27 percent are satisfied. At the beginning of March, 46 percent of people in Germany were still satisfied with Scholz’s work, only 39 percent were dissatisfied. At the time, 44 percent said the traffic light coalition was doing a good job, while 43 percent disagreed.
Meanwhile, the Union parties can continue to increase in favor with the voters. According to Insa, the CDU/CSU come to 28 percent, which is one percentage point more than in the previous week. This puts the Union seven points ahead of the Greens, who reach 21 percent (minus one percentage point).
