The CDU / CSU has lost two percentage points in the current ZDF “Politbarometer” and has now reached 28 percent.

The Greens gain one percentage point and are in the poll published on Friday by the Elections Research Group at 21 percent.

The SPD follows in third place with 16 percent (also plus one).

For the AfD, eleven percent are predicted in the survey (plus one).

It is followed by the FDP with an unchanged ten percent and the left with still seven percent.

Mathematical majorities would be the only two-party alliance for a black-green coalition, but also for an alliance of CDU / CSU, SPD and FDP, and very close to a traffic light for the Greens, SPD and FDP.

The result also seems to be a consequence of the flood disaster.

While the corona pandemic was mentioned as the most important topic two weeks ago, the virus and the climate and environment are now almost on par.

Two weeks ago, Corona was most important for 50 percent of people, the climate was still 34 percent.

Now there are 45 and 44 percent respectively.

When asked about the suitability for the Chancellery, Union candidate Armin Laschet crashes.

Only 35 percent consider him suitable as Federal Chancellor, twelve percentage points less than before.

Annalena Baerbock, chairwoman of the Greens, added one point, but only achieved a value of 25 percent.

According to the “Politbarometer”, the majority of the citizens consider SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz to be suitable, who is clearly ahead with 54 percent.

The distribution of the question of who is actually desired as Federal Chancellor is somewhat different.

Here Scholz leads with 34 percent (plus six points) ahead of Laschet with 29 percent (minus eight) and Baerbock with 20 percent (plus two).

As always, the poll for the Politbarometer was carried out by the Mannheim research group Wahlen. The interviews were conducted by telephone from July 27 to 29, 2021, from 1,268 randomly selected voters. Both landline and mobile phone numbers were taken into account. The survey is representative of the eligible population in Germany. The error range is around +/- three percentage points for a share of 40 percent and around +/- two percentage points for a share of 10 percent.
