Poll Story

 I noticed a poll story this AM (N-24), which discussed a poll done by Civey (a fairly respected polling organization).

So the question, if Laschet (CDU Chancellor candidate) ends up winning....how respectful are you of the guy, as Chancellor?

Half of the audience that Civey asked....said 'very negatively', and three-quarters of the audience said a minimum of 'negative'.  So you only had a quarter of the Germans in this poll that seemed happy with the idea of Laschet becoming Chancellor. 

A problem?  

I'll just present it this way....every week that goes by....the odds of the CDU winning....diminish.  I'd say the SPD odds are on a upward trend, and all of this relates to Laschet and the general perception of the guy.  If you say three-quarters of the nation aren't that thrilled over the idea of him being Chancellor....it's a problem.

If the CDU loses this election (some hints exist to suggest they might only get 20-percent in the election on 26 Sep)?  The executive committee of the CDU deserves 99-percent of the blame.....they were the acting group that put Laschet up as the candidate.
