Merkel, who has been in power for 16 years, is about to step down. At the beginning of the election, Merkel's coalition candidate Raschel easily led the Social Democratic Party and the Green Party opponents.
However, Lashet has been gaffes many times in the past few weeks, which has led to sluggish support and dragged down the party's support rate.
The candidate of the Social Democratic Party who was not optimistic at first, the current Finance Minister Schultz, has come from behind.
With the Green Party candidate and party leader Bell Burke also losing momentum due to plagiarism and other negative news, Schultz's support even surpassed Bell Burke.
Just a few hours before the televised debate, the poll published by the German "Sunday Bild" showed that the support rate of the Social Democratic Party to which Schultz belongs rose to 24%, the support rate of the Coalition Party fell to a record low of 21%, and that of the Green Party. 17%.
The report pointed out that Merkel's conservative alliance is currently "completely panicked."
The deteriorating situation of Raschelt’s election began in mid-July, when the floods in western Germany suffered heavy casualties, and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where he served as governor, was also the hardest-hit area.
When German President Steinmeier paid tribute to the victims, the camera captured Raschette joking with officials behind him, and his approval rating has since fallen.
