A poll conducted by the Insa Institute for “Bild” shows that the nomination of Ilse Aigner of the CSU as a candidate for the Federal President is not resonating with the public. According to the survey, 31 percent of respondents indicated they were indifferent about whether Aigner would become Federal President, while another 16 percent stated they could not or did not want to assess whether she should serve in that role. Of those who offered an opinion, 27 percent were somewhat favorable towards Aigner assuming the role, contrasting with 25 percent who were somewhat against her.
When asked whether Aigner would perform the duties of Head of State better than the current President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, 20 percent answered in the affirmative. Conversely, 14 percent predicted that she would do a worse job. A substantial 35 percent believed that Aigner’s performance would be about the same as Steinmeier’s, while 31 percent declined to answer or could not answer the comparison question.
The Insa Institute surveyed 1,005 eligible voters between November 6 and 9.
