Chancellor Merz

Germany's ruling CDU/CSU bloc has fallen to its lowest level of support in almost five years, trailing the opposition AfD by eight points, according to an INSA poll published by Bild.

Approval ratings for Merz's coalition, made up of the Christian Democrats' CDU/CSU bloc and the Social Democratic Party, have fallen steadily since he took office in May 2025. The government has faced criticism for ongoing economic stagnation and its failure to deliver on pre-election promises.

The poll, conducted by INSA for Bild, surveyed 1,203 people across Germany between August 10 and 14, with a reported margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Support for the CDU/CSU fell by one point from last week to 20%, INSA's weakest result since October 2021. The AfD remained unchanged at 28%, making it the most popular party in the poll.

The Greens took 13%, while the SPD tied with the Left on 12%. The FDP registered 5% and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance 3%. Together, the two governing parties took 32%, just four points more than the AfD alone.

Several major reforms remain unresolved after coalition disagreements over taxes, welfare and spending priorities. The findings also showed that 16% of respondents were satisfied with Merz's performance, while 78% expressed dissatisfaction. Four in five disapproved of the federal government's work.

"Support has never been so low and rejection so high," INSA director Hermann Binkert told Bild. He argued that the trend may no longer be reversible because most of the remaining supporters of the ruling parties no longer support the cabinet.
