Armin Laschet (CDU), the Union's candidate for chancellor, does not receive this support from its own voters: 37 percent of those questioned who voted for the CDU / CSU in the previous federal election said that Laschet's nomination would make it less likely for them in the federal election to vote for the Union in September.
For 15 percent of Union voters, however, it is more likely.
