Forsa survey
Who people trust a ministerial office – and whoever falls through
With a view to the upcoming federal government, numerous names are being discussed. A survey shows who people consider suitable. Some well -known falls through.
While the exploratory negotiations run between the CDU/CSU and SPD, it is puzzled who could belong to the cabinet of a possible black and red government. Boris Pistorius, even before the Bundestag election across the party, most popular in the country, lands in first place with a big lead. A large majority continue to trust him to have a ministerial office. Thorsten Frei follows in second place, previously the first parliamentary managing director of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group. However, only 40 percent of the respondents stated that they were freely known. 63 percent of this rate trusted him with a cabinet post. SPD-Co boss Lars Klingbeil is much better known, but has lower approval values.
At the lower end of the ranking, the second SPD boss Saskia Esken, who only trusts a ministerial post that you know. With Jens Spahn and Alexander Dobrindt, two Union politicians who already held ministerial posts, but according to the respondents, tends to not get government responsibility again.

Pistorius at the front of the survey of supporters of both parties
Not only does Minister of Defense Pistorius enjoy trust in his own warehouse, but also get the highest approval values from the supporters of the Union parties. A large majority of a lot are also considered to be suitable across the party. Carsten Linnemann, Hubertus Heil, Julia Klöckner, Alexander Dobrindt and Jens Spahn, on the other hand, are rated primarily by the supporters of their respective parties. Saskia Esken is found within her party of 19 percent for government-safe-and thus receives less approval in his own camp than most Union politicians.
