After the heavy losses in the state elections, the pressure on the new CDU leader Armin Laschet is growing.
According to a survey, the majority of Germans do not consider Laschet to be a suitable candidate for chancellor of the Union parties.
In view of the CDU election results, 73.1 percent of those surveyed do not consider the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia to be the right candidate, according to a survey by the Civey Institute, according to the news portal "t-online".
Only 14.7 percent of those questioned were in favor of Laschet.
Laschet also has little support from the CDU supporters.
Among the respondents who want to vote for the CDU in the next election, 72.5 percent are of the opinion that the 60-year-old is not the right candidate for the Union's chancellor.
Only 16.4 percent think Laschet is the right man.
For the survey, 5080 participants selected to be representative of the population were interviewed between March 14th and 15th.
Laschet had prevailed in January in the race for the CDU chairmanship against the former Union parliamentary group leader Friedrich Merz and the CDU foreign politician Norbert Röttgen.

Laschet himself considers a decision on the question of the Union Chancellor candidacy with the CSU chairman Markus Söder to be possible soon after Easter.
At some point between Easter and Whitsun, the candidate for chancellor will be named, Laschet repeated on Monday in the ZDF program “What now, Mr. Laschet?” Initially.
But then he added: “By the way, between Easter and Pentecost does not mean Pentecost Sunday.
It can also be very quickly after Easter. ”The topic will be discussed together and fairly.
