Part 3/4:
In the wake of this political upheaval, Scholz is facing dwindling support in public opinion polls. Reports indicate that the conservative opposition, led by Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has taken a significant lead, garnering approximately 31% of voter support according to the latest Bloomberg polling average.
In contrast, Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) ranks third with only 17.7% support, overshadowed by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which stands firm at 18%. The Green Party follows with around 13.3%. This stark contrast in polling highlights the shifting attitudes of the German electorate, who are re-evaluating their political loyalties in light of recent governmental failings.
