A recent poll indicates that a majority of people in Germany are dissatisfied with the performance of Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his government, just 100 days after they took office. The survey, conducted by INSA for the newspaper Bild, found that 60% of Germans are unhappy with the new administration, a significant increase from a similar poll a month earlier. At that time, 44% expressed dissatisfaction. Conversely, the number of satisfied individuals has dropped from 37% to 27%.
The results suggest a challenging start for the new coalition government, which took power following a recent election. The poll’s findings are seen by some analysts as an indication that the public is growing impatient with the government’s progress on key policy issues. While the poll offers a snapshot of public opinion, it highlights the pressure on Chancellor Merz to address the concerns of the German populace and build broader support for his agenda.
