[HIGHLIGHTS] Bundestag election: According to the survey, the Union would have the best chances with Markus Söder as candidate for chancellor

The CDU and CSU have not yet agreed on a candidate for chancellor for the upcoming federal election. A survey now shows who currently has the greatest chances of success.

According to a survey, Söder would have the best chance of a good result as a candidate. The open dispute over the candidacy for chancellor is seen as one reason for the Union's poor election result in the last federal election, the ZDF political barometer says. The decision on the Union’s candidacy for Chancellor will not be made until after the elections in East Germany in September.
