    Public Doubts Rise Over Stability of Schwarz-Rot Coalition Amid Low Support for Chancellor Merz

    A recent ZDF-Politbarometer indicates that nearly half of German citizens anticipate the early dissolution of the Schwarz-Rot coalition government.

    According to the survey conducted from May 5 to May 7, 48% of respondents expect the coalition to end prematurely, a significant increase from 30% in March. Support for Chancellor Friedrich Merz has also declined, with only 47% believing his government will last until the 2029 elections, down from 66% previously. The survey shows the AfD leading with 27%, while the CDU/CSU remains at 25% and the SPD at 12%. Additionally, dissatisfaction with Merz’s performance has reached an all-time high, with only 16% expressing satisfaction, marking a decline of five percentage points since April.
