Regardless of a falling popularity for its crisis management in the corona pandemic, the CSU in Bavaria continues to gain favor with the voters.

If there were state elections in Bavaria next Sunday, the CSU, under the leadership of Prime Minister and party leader Markus Söder, would have 48 percent of the vote and would have a good chance of an absolute majority of the seats in the state parliament.

This was determined by the infratest dimap institute on behalf of the BR policy magazine “Kontrovers” for its BayernTrend.

In the previous BayernTrend in October, the CSU was still 45 percent.

According to the survey, the Greens would achieve 19 percent (-2).

The Free Voters as the currently smaller coalition partner would come to eight percent and also increase (+1).

The SPD and AfD are in the BR-Bavaria trend at seven percent (-1 each).

Like the Left, the FDP would not be represented in the state parliament with three percent.

Only 60 percent of those questioned are satisfied with the state government's crisis management.

In April of last year it was 89 percent, in October it was 79 percent.

15 percent are currently very satisfied with the corona crisis management, and 45 percent are satisfied.

In contrast, 70 percent are overall satisfied with the government's work - more than the outbreak of the corona pandemic.

Prime Minister Markus Söder also has better poll numbers than before the pandemic.

A year ago, 67 percent were satisfied with their work, in July 2020 it was even 87 percent.

At the beginning of 2021, 72 percent of those surveyed gave him a positive report.

The President of the State Parliament Ilse Aigner (CSU, 56 percent) and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) with 54 percent follow at a considerable distance from Söder.

Behind them are Katharina Schulze (Greens) with 32 percent, Michael Piazolo (Free Voters) with 24 percent, Ludwig Hartmann (Greens) with 23 percent and Natascha Kohnen (SPD) with 20 percent.

Bayern want Söder as a candidate for Union Chancellor - but not so clearly

At 72 percent, Söder is also more popular than the federal politicians Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU, 61 percent) and Olaf Scholz (SPD, 52 percent).

As a possible candidate for chancellor of the Union, however, Söder lost.

With 63 percent approval, the Franconian leads the field of possible Union Chancellor candidates well ahead of Friedrich Merz (32 percent), Norbert Röttgen (31 percent) and Armin Laschet (22 percent).

However, compared to six months ago, Söder lost 14 percentage points.

Markus Söder's Corona policy is most popular with CSU supporters (83 percent) and supporters of the Greens (68 percent).

In the case of the coalition partner Free Voters, this value is 50 percent, SPD supporters see the corona policy rather critically (42 percent approval), there is hardly any support among the AfD (ten percent).

56 percent of Bavarian eligible voters think the current Corona measures are appropriate, for 12 percent they do not go far enough.

This contrasts with 31 percent for whom the current lockdown goes too far.

More than three quarters of people in Bavaria probably or definitely want to be vaccinated against the corona virus, as the survey also shows.

On the other hand, according to the survey, ten percent probably do not want to be vaccinated, and eleven percent definitely do not.

The people in the Free State are generally too slow to vaccinate.

With 40 percent, less than half consider the vaccination speed appropriate.

51 percent think things are going too slowly.
