The German federal government is losing support again.
In the weekly Sunday trend collected by the opinion‑polling institute Insa for the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”, the CDU/CSU (the union) slipped one point to 25 %. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) retained its 26 %, keeping it as the strongest party. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) stayed at 16 %, the Greens at 11 %, and the Left (Die Linke) at 10 %. The BSW (4 %) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP, 3 %) both fell short of the 5 % threshold once more.
Only 23 % of respondents expressed satisfaction with Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s performance-down 5 percentage points from the last survey two weeks ago. Five points higher, 67 % were dissatisfied, while 10 % had no opinion or refused to answer.
Overall, the black‑red coalition (CDU/CSU) is faring worse than it did in January: just 22 % of people were satisfied (a 3‑point drop), and 68 % were dissatisfied (a 2‑point increase).
