Scholz under pressure: SPD falls in third place before the choice!

The political landscape in Germany is currently on the brink. Chancellor Olaf Scholz from the SPD is currently facing enormous challenges, since the Social Democratic Party has slipped to third place with only 14 percent of the votes in the current surveys. As oe24.at , the SPD even threatens to relapse to fourth place. The Bundestag elections are pending on February 23, and Scholz is forced to deal with other parties with increasing pressure

CDU boss Friedrich Merz, on the other hand, seems to be on the best way with an impressive survey of 33 percent. This could put him in a strong position for a possible coalition, even if an absolute majority still seems far away. The AfD is in second place at 19 percent, with its candidate for chancellor Alice Weidel emphasized that she rely on her good poll values ​​- despite the lack of coalition partners. As can be seen from the surveys, the Left Party of the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance could find it difficult to overcome the 5 percent hurdle, while the FDP remains below the mandate limit.

political ranking of the ministers

Another interesting development is evident in the assessment of politicians with regard to sympathy and performance. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius leads with a value of 2.0 and remains the most popular, reports zdf.de . Hendrik Wüst follows in second place with a value of 0.9. While ministers like Olaf Scholz remain in the negative area with a value of -0.7 and Christian Lindner with -1.9, Alice Weidel cuts with an even deeper value of -2.7. This mood reflects the current challenges and falling support for the government parties in advance of the decisive elections that will take place in less than ten weeks.
