BERLIN (Dow Jones) — At the beginning of the parliamentary summer recess, the traffic light coalition reached its lowest value since the beginning of the legislative period in a survey. In the Sunday trend, which the opinion research institute INSA collects weekly for the Bild am Sonntag, the Social Democrats come to 19 percent, as in the previous week. The Greens lose 1 point and come to 13 percent, the FDP remains stable at 7 percent. Together, the traffic light parties come to 39 percent and thus to a new low.
The Union parties can gain 1 point and come to 27 percent. The AfD remains stable at 20 percent, the left stable at 5 percent. The other parties could unite 9 percent of the votes.
The traffic light, on the other hand, has reached a new high in terms of measured dissatisfaction with its work, which the newspaper has had regularly surveyed since the beginning of the legislature. 70 percent of people in Germany are dissatisfied with the work of the federal government, only 23 percent are satisfied. Even among the supporters of the SPD chancellor party, only every second person is satisfied, FDP voters are just as dissatisfied as the rest of the population (70 percent). The Greens supporters are the most satisfied (56 percent).
