A new opinion poll shows the likely future Chancellor Friedrich Merz from the conservative CDU party losing support even before his government is formed. The populist AfD is cashing in on the dissatisfaction.

Already there is a new trend, according to the latest Deutschlandtrend survey conducted for German broadcaster ARD. Pollster infratest dimap surveyed a representative sample of 1,334 eligible German voters from March 31 to April 2. The CDU/CSU slumped to 26%, their lowest level since October 2022, while the AfD reached a new high of 24%.
