Roughly four of every five Germans....are disgruntled and frustrated with the Berlin-leadership and politics.
Yep, this came out of a poll that ARD (Channel One, public TV) did, and they do this question every single month. Growth over the past four months? Roughly 15-points upward, which is a fairly negative trend to discuss in public.
Somewhere in the range of 56-percent of folks in this polling effort even said that there was a heck of a lot of time being spent by the various factions on the migration and immigration business. If you looked at the structure of the question....they avoided asking it on whether it was a stupid topic for the bureaucrats, or if various parties were just debating this topic beyond absolute reason. Generally, I'd say that most Germans wanted a simplified method of handling migrants, and this whole Merkel-Seehofer and the SPD discussion....became like some Einstein-like physics conference which goes on for weeks and weeks, and could have been done in seventy-two hours.
Fixing this disgruntled feeling? Well....thank God, we have summer 'pause' now, and the politicians will barely be on TV for the next six weeks. The numbers will drop by 15-points, and everyone will suggest that things are great again.
The political numbers right now? The CDU/CSU (based on another poll by ARD) sit at 32-percent. The SPD at 18-percent. The AfD sit at 16-percent. The FDP at 8-percent. The Greens at 14-percent. And the Linke at 9-percent.
The major affect for the rest of the year will be revolving around the Hessen and Bavarian state elections. I suspect a fair number of votes will occur for the AfD, and suggest that they have yet to peak.
