German Coalition Hits Record Low Approval

Published: 2024-08-03

A recent poll reveals that the German coalition government, known as the "Ampel" (Traffic Light), has dropped to its lowest approval rating since taking office, garnering only 30 percent support.

This marks a significant decline of 22 percentage points since the last federal election.

The Green Party has seen a particularly steep drop, now at just 10 percent, while the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Free Democrats (FDP) remain stagnant at 15 and 5 percent, respectively.

In contrast, the opposition Union party has gained traction, now leading with 31 percent approval.

The poll, conducted by INSA, surveyed 1,199 individuals and highlights the growing discontent among voters, reflecting the challenges faced by the current government.
