Friedrich Merz: According to the survey, coordination with the AfD does not harm him

No question is discussed as controversial before the Bundestag election in Germany as migration – and the votes in the Bundestag. The CDU/CSU brought a motion for a resolution with the votes of the AfD. The right wing faction also supported a law draft of the Union, which almost missed the majority in parliament.

A historically unique process that divides Germany. This is also shown by the data of the new ARD Germany trend. According to the Infratest Dimap survey, half of the respondents fundamentally reject the approach of the Union and her candidate for Chancellor Friedrich Merz. 43 percent consider it acceptable that Merz also accepts a majority in the Bundestag for a stricter asylum policy, which came about with votes from the AfD. Politicians from other parties had referred to the coordination as a “taboo break”, hundreds of thousands protested in various German cities and in front of the CDU headquarters in Berlin against the fact that the fire wall was torn down.

As expected, Merz can count on the Union supporters. A total of 62 percent agree to his course. 28 percent follow his demands in migration policy, but do not consider the acceptance of a majority with the AfD to be correct. According to the survey, only seven percent reject Merz Rundheraus’s procedure.

A majority with the AfD accepted Friedrich Merz to give his course more emphasis in asylum and migration policy. But would he also be ready to be elected Chancellor with the votes of the AfD? Merz has always excluded this – and thus follows the opinion of the clear majority of citizens. Almost two thirds do not consider a coalition with the AfD to be acceptable. 77 percent of the Union supporters exclude this. However, only 49 percent of majorities with the AfD come across.

However, it is uncertain for many respondents whether Merz will remain in his cancellation even after the Bundestag election. 44 percent, however, do not believe 43 percent-which does not speak for great trust in the CDU leader. However, he is still considered the most popular candidate for chancellor. 33 percent trust him.

In the Sunday question, too, the Union is still clearly ahead in the Germany trend (31 percent, +1). The AfD ranks behind with 21 percent (+1). SPD and Greens are almost equal with 15 and 14 percent. According to the survey, the left would just be skipping the five percent hurdle, but FDP and BSW will miss the move into the Bundestag.

From Monday to Wednesday this week, the Infratest Dimap Institute interviewed 1302 eligible voters. The possible error rate is specified with two to three percentage points.
