German Chancellor Merz’s approval rating drops sharply amid growing public discontent

09 July 2025 09:36

The popularity of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, which began to rise last month amid effective foreign policy moves, has started to decline again.

This is evidenced by the results of a Forsa Institute poll conducted on behalf of n-tv.

Roughly two months after the new federal government of Germany took office, only 38% of respondents said they were satisfied with its performance, while 58% expressed dissatisfaction.

Alongside growing discontent with the work of the federal government, dissatisfaction with Chancellor Friedrich Merz is also increasing, n-tv notes.

While his approval rating had steadily risen in the early weeks after taking office and reached 42%, it dropped by seven points in just one week—to 35%. According to the report, this is the lowest figure since polling began at the end of May.

At the same time, 59% of respondents now view Merz’s performance unfavourably—an increase of eight points from the previous week.

As n-tv writes, the chancellor’s rating has been affected by a growing public perception that the government is failing to address the country's most pressing problems (a view held by 65% of respondents).

An equal number criticise the government’s refusal to lower the electricity tax, which has become one of the key topics of political debate in recent days.
