hotnews.ro (Romanian)

A new poll shows 78% of Germans no longer consider Chancellor Friedrich Merz suitable for his position, with only 14% supporting him and 8% undecided, according to Insa institute data published Saturday by Bild. Support for Merz has been declining since mid-2025, when over 30% of respondents approved of his work. Even among CDU voters, 58% say he is unsuitable, while 36% disagree. SPD co-leader Lars Klingbeil fared better, though 51% still view him negatively. The survey also found 46% of respondents no longer support the political "firewall" against cooperation with the AfD party, while 34% back the principle.
