The Greens are recording an upward trend in a recent survey. They obviously benefit from the changes at the party leadership.
After the resignation of their party executive, the Greens gained favor with voters in the weekly Insa “Sunday trend” published by “Bild am Sonntag”. The Greens came in at eleven percent in the survey, one percentage point more than a week ago. According to Insa managing director Hermann Binkert, the party is benefiting “from the resignation of its two chairmen” Omid Nouripour and Ricarda Lang, who announced their resignation on Wednesday after a series of poor election results.
The other traffic light parties maintained their values from the previous week: The SPD got 15 percent, the FDP was still at four percent and would therefore no longer be represented in the Bundestag. The Union would currently be by far the strongest force with an unchanged 32 percent. The AfD had to accept a slight loss of one percentage point compared to the last survey and was now at 19 percent. The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) remained unchanged at ten percent, the Left gained one percentage point and was at three percent.
From Monday to Friday, Insa also asked 1,203 people for “Bild am Sonntag” about who they would vote for if they could directly elect the next Chancellor – this included Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green) to choose from. According to this, 35 percent of those surveyed would vote for Merz directly, Scholz would get 19 percent and Habeck would get 16 percent.
According to the current survey, Habeck’s possible candidacy for chancellor is met with skepticism among citizens. For 39 percent of those surveyed, Habeck’s candidacy for chancellor would reduce their willingness to vote for the Greens. 36 percent said that this would have no impact on their voting decision. Only 16 percent would be more willing to vote for the Greens with Habeck as their candidate for chancellor. 36 percent of those surveyed blamed the Greens for the unpopularity of the traffic light coalition. 16 percent of those surveyed blamed the FDP for this, 13 percent blamed the SPD.
