Poll Shows Broad Rejection of AfD PlansA representative Forsa poll of 1,007 people measured support for AfD proposals on migration, schools and churches.
- In the representative Forsa poll commissioned by RTL/ntv and surveying 1,007 people, 17 percent nationwide agreed that foreign doctors were often poorly suited to treat German patients because of language problems and different cultural backgrounds, compared with 52 percent among AfD supporters.
- Only 16 percent supported the claim that recruiting foreign skilled workers caused problems and threatened patients’ welfare in areas such as healthcare and nursing, while the figure among AfD supporters was 49 percent and more than 80 percent of respondents nationwide rejected both claims.
- Among the AfD’s school proposals, 31 percent supported more complaint options for parents and students and 24 percent supported restricting teachers’ participation in discussions of students’ views, while 54 percent expected the policies to be implemented if the AfD entered government and 68 percent believed they could intimidate teachers.
- Forty-four percent backed limiting the churches’ special status, while 37 percent supported restricting church-tax revenue to personnel and building costs; among AfD supporters, approval stood at 83 and 74 percent respectively, and 43 percent nationwide expected the church-related positions to be implemented.
