The FDP politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann is causing a lot of trouble in the traffic light coalition. Nevertheless, the chairwoman of the Defense Committee is unknown to almost half of citizens. The majority of others consider her to be competent and a strong leader.
Hardly any other politician is in the headlines like this: She agrees with the opposition on the issue of the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles. She is arguing with the President of the Bundestag about the confidentiality of the Defense Committee. She provokes those who know Berthold Brecht with the election campaign slogan “Grandma Courage.” Nevertheless, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmerman is still unknown to 47 percent of Germans, according to a Forsa survey star resulted. At least 53 percent of citizens know them. 34 percent know that she is an FDP politician. 29 percent can say that she is chairwoman of the Defense Committee or a defense politician. However, only five percent remember that she is her party’s top candidate for the European elections (multiple answers possible).
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann in the property profile
Anyone who knows the FDP politicians has a very positive opinion of them. This shows that star-Characteristics profile that Forsa collects at irregular intervals for top politicians. What stands out is that Strack-Zimmermann speaks understandably. 76 percent see it that way. A majority of those surveyed also appear to be competent (62 percent) and a strong leader (61 percent). 50 percent think she is trustworthy and 30 percent say she knows what makes people tick. However, only 34 percent like the sharp rhetorician.
FDP voters consistently rate Strack-Zimmermann more positively than supporters of other parties. Around 73 percent think she is competent, but only 46 percent of liberal clients think she is likeable. Incidentally, the defense politician is not particularly critical of the voters of the SPD, with whose leaders she regularly quarrels, but of the supporters of the AfD and the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance. For example, 63 percent of AfD voters think that Strack-Zimmermann speaks understandably, but only ten percent of them like her.
The data was compiled by the market and opinion research institute Forsa star and RTL Deutschland from March 20 to 22, 2024. Database: 1506 respondents. Statistical margin of error: +/- 3 percentage points. The basis for the characteristics profile are the 801 respondents who stated that they knew Strack-Zimmermann.
