Recent survey results reveal a significant voter discontent regarding the potential chancellorship of Friedrich Merz and Olaf Scholz. While Merz is perceived as more competent in various policy areas, particularly in migration and asylum, Scholz holds an advantage only in social affairs and climate-related issues.
In a hypothetical direct election, 25% of respondents would choose Merz, while 21% would opt for Scholz. Notably, a striking 48% express a desire for neither candidate to take on the chancellorship.
This sentiment reflects a broader trend of dissatisfaction among voters, as evidenced by the CDU/CSU achieving its highest approval ratings in over three years, currently standing at 33%. The AfD follows at 19%, with the SPD trailing at 14%.
The survey indicates a clear division in public opinion, where a significant portion of the electorate remains uncertain and disengaged from the leading candidates. The findings suggest that both Merz and Scholz face considerable challenges in winning over voters who are seeking alternative leadership options.
