The approval of the Semaforo government in Germany is exceptional: zero percent

The Traffic Light Coalition is still in free fall when it comes to approval . The fall is so sharp that it raises some doubts about the statistical correctness. According to Merkur , a recent poll by the ZDF political barometer, 0% (zero%) of respondents are in favor of continuing the coalition between the SPD, FDP and Greens in the federal government. A more than Bulgarian majority, but against.

The survey results could further worsen the mood of the governing parties. After the bitter failures in the state elections in Thuringia and Saxony, he was already in the basement. Party leaders had reportedly wanted to meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday to form a coalition committee. But the meeting was cancelled . Since the state elections in the eastern part of the republic there have been no more traffic light talks between the parties, Die Welt reported .

The traffic light coalition is viewed negatively from 2023

The dissatisfaction with the federal government becomes even more evident if one looks at the general assessment of its performance:

  • Seventy-one percent of those surveyed believe that traffic-light government does its job poorly.
  • Only 25% view it positively, which is very low.
  • only 38% of those interviewed have confidence that the CDU /CSU will do better, because, evidently, they don't even have confidence in the recipes of this party.

The poll now released marks a low point in support for the traffic light coalition. As the newspaper Bild reports , from the beginning of 2023 no more than 5% of those interviewed are in favor of a traffic light coalition.

It is not only the traffic light coalition that is unpopular in the polls, but no one has the courage to talk about AfD and BSW

The now published poll also shows that not only the traffic light coalition, but also other coalition models are not very popular. Only 2% of those interviewed imagine a coalition made up of the SPD, the Greens and the Left. The yellow-black coalition did slightly better, but still had a low level of support, with 8% and a large CDU/CSU and SPD coalition with 23%.

No one has had the courage to ask for an opinion on the coalitions with AfD and BSW, because in any case no one has yet had the courage to ask if there is trust in formulas that are alternatives to the pro-European and green vision imposed by those who, until yesterday, were the large mass parties.

The next real mood test for the traffic light and its competition will be the state elections in Brandenburg . The so-called Kenyan coalition composed of the SPD, CDU and Greens is currently in power. According to current polls in Brandenburg, the regional elections will probably be very close for this three-party alliance, but AfD presents itself as the probable first party there too, followed at a distance by SPD, CDU and BSW.
