The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that “the results of a poll conducted by the Institute of Public Opinion (INSA) between August 15 and 19 show that the popularity of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, his government and his party (the German Social Democratic Party) is on the wane.”

She said that “at the moment, only 25% of citizens express their satisfaction with the work of Schulz as Chancellor of Germany, and another 62% express dissatisfaction with him, and this is a negative indicator for the entire time he has been in office.”

And I checked that in the event of a direct election of the federal chancellor, Schultz will now only be in third place. According to the poll, 25% of Germans will choose the incumbent Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck from the Green Party, 19% will choose Christian Democratic Union leader Friedrich Merz, and only 18% will choose Olaf Schulz. .

The popularity of the current “traffic light” coalition government, consisting of the Social Democratic Party, the Free Democratic Party and the Green Party, is also declining. Only 27% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the work of the government, and 65% – dissatisfaction.
