The Alternative for Germany (AfD) maintains its lead in the measured voter favorability, even after the federal government announced relief measures and reforms. According to the weekly poll for the channels RTL and ntv, the AfD remains at 26 percent, while the Union holds steady at 24 percent. The Green Party registers at 15 percent, the SPD at 12 percent, The Left at 11 percent, and the FDP at 4 percent. Furthermore, the proportion of non-voters and undecided voters remains significantly higher at 26 percent compared to the previous federal election (17.9 percent).
Meanwhile, satisfaction with Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) remains at a historically low level. Only 18 percent of citizens are satisfied with his work, while 80 percent are dissatisfied-marking the lowest figure measured to date. When assessing political competence, both the Union and the AfD each lose one percentage point, dropping to 14 and 13 percent, respectively. Eight percent of citizens still trust the Green Party with the greatest problem-solving capability, five percent trust The Left, and four percent trust the SPD. A majority of 54 percent still believes that no single party can solve the problems in Germany. These data were collected between April 14 and April 20, 2026, based on 2,502 respondents.
