Merz in criticism: AfD reaches historical survey!

Von WOM

Sachsen, Deutschland - The political landscape in Germany is currently undergoing a change. The Union, led by CDU boss Friedrich Merz, has a worrying decline in approval in the current surveys. While the AfD has a record of 24 percent record, the Union was only able to achieve 26 percent in the “Germany trend” of the ARD. This indicates a growing dissatisfaction of the electorate, which is 70 percent dissatisfied with Merz's performance or even very dissatisfied. This reports krone.at .

In the midst of these concern developments, coalition negotiations between the CDU and the SPD take place, which according to SPD parliamentary managing director Katja Mast shows progress. However, Mast also expresses concern about a possible "right rate" in society and urges Merz to work for social cohesion. CSU boss Markus Söder and SPD chairman Lars Klingbeil are optimistic about government formation, whereby Söder emphasizes that some issues are still open.

The Union strives for tax relief as well as savings in the citizens' allowance, the heating law and the state apparatus. Klingbeil has confirmed savings options in the household, but did not put any specific numbers on the table. So far, there has been no clear schedule for the continuation of the talks, which further increases political uncertainty.

In parallel to these developments, the support for the AfD, which has now achieved a poll value of 23.4 percent for the Bundestag election, has become increased, as can be seen from an election survey made on April 3, 2025.

In Saxony and Thuringia in particular, the AfD records its highest survey values ​​with 36 and 35 percent. In contrast, support in Hamburg is lowest at only 7.5 percent.
