The German citizens increasingly perceive the corona measures as a burden.

Almost every second citizen (49 percent) perceives the restrictions as a very strong or strong burden, as the current ARD “Germany trend” showed.

42 percent perceive their personal stress from the existing requirements as less severe.

Only nine percent do not feel at all burdened by the restrictions, as the survey for the ARD “Morgenmagazin” on Friday showed.

This increased the number of those who perceive the conditions as onerous.

In the week before Christmas, only 36 percent described the restrictions as severe or very severe stress.

Almost two-thirds (64 percent) said they were less exposed or not at all. 

Younger voters also feel more stressed than older people.

According to the survey, six out of ten respondents (59 percent) of under 40-year-olds speak of severe to very severe stress.

For those over 65, it is just under four in ten (37 percent).

The survey also showed that satisfaction with the crisis management of the federal and state governments is declining.

In the meantime, a critical judgment prevails in the population: a good half of Germans (54 percent) are currently less or not at all satisfied with the crisis management.

46 percent of those surveyed are satisfied or very satisfied.

That was the mood in December

In mid-December, 57 percent were positive, 42 percent negative.

The majority behind the crisis management of the federal and state governments are currently the supporters of the Union parties (74 to 26 percent).

Among supporters of the SPD and the Greens, approval and rejection are roughly in balance (52 to 48 percent each).

Criticism prevails among the left (57 to 42 percent).

The supporters of the FDP (80 to 20 percent) and the AfD (93 to 7 percent) keep a clear distance from the crisis management of the federal and state governments.

There was a slight gain in party preferences for the SPD.

If the general election were on Sunday, the CDU / CSU would get 34 percent.

The Greens would be the second strongest force with 21 percent.

15 percent would opt for the SPD and ten percent for the AfD.

The Left would come to six percent, the FDP to seven percent.

Compared to the “Germany trend” of January 7, 2021, the SPD gained one percentage point.

The Union and the Left each lost a percentage point.

The share of votes for the Greens, AfD and FDP remained unchanged. 

For the ARD “Deutschlandtrend”, infratest dimap interviewed 1027 voters on behalf of the ARD “Morgenmagazin” from Monday to Wednesday.

The margin of error was given as 1.4 to 3.1 percentage points, depending on the percentage.
