ER Editor: A reminder that Merz took office on May 6, 2025. Somewhere this polling is a success story. It’s apparent to anyone with a brain that our leading politicians in Europe are doing an appalling job, obviously by design.

Specifically, 36 percent of those surveyed rate Friedrich Merz’s work worse than Angela Merkel’s. In contrast, only 18 percent are of the opinion that Merz is doing his job better than the former Chancellor. Only 14 percent of those surveyed think that both politicians do their job well or have done it well. 21 percent think that Merz is doing his job just as badly as Angela Merkel did before.
In a direct comparison with his predecessor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Friedrich Merz can at least easily pull away. According to the survey, 26 percent of voters rate him better than Olaf Scholz. 20 percent were happier with Scholz than with Merz and 12 percent think that both chancellors have a good record. However, the relative majority is dissatisfied with both Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz. 30 percent are of the opinion that Merz is doing just as bad a job as Olaf Scholz.
When it comes to Sunday’s question, the Union (CDU/CSU) and the AfD still dominate the survey. 28 percent of all voters would vote for the CDU/CSU. The AfD has approval ratings of 23.5 percent. For both parties there was no change in voter popularity compared to the previous week. The SPD remains the third strongest force. However, this loses one percentage point and only reaches 14.5 percent. The Greens also lose half a percentage point. Only 11 percent of voters would vote for the party.
