    Majority of Germans Reject Merz as Chancellor

    A series of polls indicate a significant decline in support for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Only 14% of Germans consider him suitable for the post, while 78% reject him. His approval rating has fallen from over 30% in mid-2025 to around 16% by September 2026. Even among his own supporters, 58% oppose him. The decline follows the CDU's defeats in state elections and growing dissatisfaction with his leadership.
