A new opinion poll shows the likely future Chancellor Friedrich Merz from the conservative CDU party losing support even before his government is formed. The populist AfD is cashing in on the dissatisfaction.

Already there is a new trend, according to the latest Deutschlandtrend survey conducted for German broadcaster ARD. Pollster infratest dimap surveyed a representative sample of 1,334 eligible German voters from March 31 to April 2. The CDU/CSU slumped to 26%, their lowest level since October 2022, while the AfD reached a new high of 24%.

Seven out of ten respondents in the ARD Deutschlandtrend survey would like to see higher import tariffs on US products in retaliation

    Moronic. The AfD want to leave the EU and have been exposed to be Putin lapdogs multiple times. We‘re seeing what this course of action is doing in the US right now and people still want that for Germany. I‘m living in a nation of masochists. Stupid masochists who think that as long as others suffer too, it will be worth the immeasurable suffering.

      It gets better. We have 50% far right votes, but at the same time 69% are in favor of a wealth tax.
