(Adnkronos) – All German parties, with the exception of the new Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (Bsw), are benefiting from the government crisis that brought down the three-party coalition. This is revealed by the first post-crisis poll in Germany, conducted by Insa for Bild. The Spd neither loses nor gains points according to the survey, where the Afd seems to be making the most of recent political events.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats stand at 15.5% of the vote, unchanged from the previous week. The Spd was down 1.5 percentage points in the latest poll at the end of October. All other parties gained support compared to the previous week in the poll conducted between 8 and 11 November on a sample of 3009 people.
The Cdu/Csu, the conservative bloc and main opposition force, rises to 32.5%, gaining 0.5 percentage points. The Greens gain one percentage point to reach 11.5%. The Liberals of the Fdp can also hope for an improvement: with the 5% attributed to them in the poll, they can overcome the electoral threshold.
The most noticeable gain was recorded in the Afd, where with 1.5% more preferences than in October, the party rose to 19.5%. Two factors would have favored this result according to Insa chief Hermann Binkert, quoted by Bild: the end of the coalition and the election of Trump. (continues)
Insa also interviewed a sample of 2008 people to assess the approval rating of political leaders: no good news for the chancellor who ranks 19th in the ranking of the 20 most loved characters, with 32.7 points (-1). Last in the ranking is Afd exponent Tino Chrupalla (31.6).
Other protagonists of the coalition are unpopular, but still ahead of Scholz. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (Spd) is ahead of the chancellor, with 32.8 points. Finance Minister Christian Lindner (Fdp), sacked by Scholz, gets 34.8 points and is three places ahead of Scholz, between Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck (15th place) and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (17th place).
In first place is always the favorite Boris Pistorius, Spd, who gains two points compared to the last BILD ranking, reaching 53.1 points, with an advantage of over 20 points over Scholz. A figure, comments Bild, which could fuel the internal debate within the Spd on the best candidate for chancellor.
