Unhappy German Voters

'Bild am Sontag'....the Sunday newspaper in Germany that a fair number of folks  read....will have results of a survey in tomorrow's edition....done by Insa.

So....70- percent of German eligible voters are dissatisfied with Chancellor Merz's work/accomplishments.

At this point....only 21 percent are satisfied. 

The coalition?   Well...73 percent of voters are dissatisfied.  Yeah, it is a record.

How it splits out politically? 69 percent of SPD voters and 56 percent of CDU/CSU supporters are dissatisfied with the coalition's performance. 

They also show more  disgruntled in the east....than the west.

What this leads onto?  There's no national election until early 2029.  The CDU-CSU and SPD folks are 'safe' at present.....but unless they can show accomplishments...things are in a crappy spiral.

Economics playing a large part of this?   Yeah....Merz  was supposed to be the guy to lead the nation back to prosperity.
