Government in a descent: only 27% of Austrians satisfied!

The political landscape in Austria shows a clear trend towards dissatisfaction with the current government. According to the latest Lazarsfeld survey, which was carried out from May 19 to 2025 and took part in 1,000 people, only 27 percent of the respondents are still satisfied with the work of the ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS. This number has dropped by three percentage points compared to the previous week. The survey suggests that 45 percent of the respondents are more dissatisfied with the government, which increases the pressure on political leadership.

In the current Sunday question for the National Council election, the FPÖ clearly claims the lead with 34 percent. ÖVP and SPÖ stagnate in second place in 21 percent, while the NEOS and the Greens only achieve 9 percent. These results could have far -reaching implications for the upcoming elections, since the political actors have to reorient themselves in order to regain voters.

comparison to the political mood in Germany

In addition, there are other survey data from the research group elections that regularly examine the political mood in Germany. The results are weighted by gender, age and education, which gives them a realistic picture of the voter opinion. A look at the past few months shows a striking stability of the support for the AfD and CDU/CSU compared to other parties.

meaning of the survey results

These surveys are not only snapshots, but also play a crucial role in the strategic considerations of the political parties. In Austria as well as in Germany, public perception is crucial for the election results. With the upcoming elections, the political actors face the challenge of adapting their messages and convincing the citizens of their competence again.

Developments in both countries are carefully pursued because they could not only have national but also European implications. The search for new solutions and alternatives will be decisive for how the political situation will develop in the coming months.
