Nearly two-thirds of Germans want a new government, the poll says

Some 64% of Germans who responded to the poll released on Saturday said a change of government would make the country a better place.

The poll, for the mass-circulation newspaper Bild, comes a day after a separate poll found that most Germans were unhappy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the coalition.

Only 22% of those polled by polling agency INSA said they thought the election would not benefit Germany.

The same percentage said they were satisfied with Olaf Scholz's job as chancellor, with 70% saying they were not.

Pollsters also asked about the so-called "traffic light" coalition of the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens and the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP). Voters were asked how they fared against Chancellor Angela Merkel's "Grand Coalition" of conservative Christian Democrats/Christian Socialists (CDU/CSU) and the SPD.

Only 10% said the current coalition was doing better, with 49% seeing it as worse. About 28% said the result was mixed depending on the policy areas.

A day earlier, the Politbarometer poll released by Germany's Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (Election Research Group) on behalf of public broadcaster ZDF also showed voter dissatisfaction with Scholz.

It found that 51% were dissatisfied with his performance in office and that 58% thought the government was doing a poor job.

A silver lining for the chancellor was just over half of Germans thought a government led by opposition conservatives would do no better.

There was also historically weak support for Scholz's SPD. Only 19% said they would vote for the party if the election was close, with the Greens at 15% and the FDP at 7%.

The CDU/CSU bloc scored 26% of voter support in the poll, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party took 19%./ DW
