Kornelius Questions Reliability of Many Merz PollsAfter the CDU’s election debacle in Saxony-Anhalt, Merz faces pressure; an RTL/ntv poll reports only 10 percent satisfaction.
- The CDU’s election debacle in Saxony-Anhalt has placed Friedrich Merz under significant internal party pressure; his continuation is being debated.
- Government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said poll figures were snapshots and would not deter Merz from pursuing his reform course.
- Kornelius questioned whether institutes releasing surveys this frequently have sufficient financial resources, and urged caution when interpreting them.
- In RTL/ntv’s Trendbarometer, 10 percent were satisfied and 88 percent deemed Merz’s performance insufficient; Forsa surveyed 2,502 people.
None of these institutes, which publish polls at this frequency, have the financial resources to conduct such surveys. So perhaps we should all be very careful with this instrument.— Government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius; commenting on the seriousness and funding of polling institutes and urging caution with polls.

- Thorsten Frei, leader of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, said on the ZDF program Markus Lanz that Merz had never considered stepping down despite the criticism.
- In the latest ntv/RTL Trendbarometer conducted by the Forsa Institute, 85 percent were dissatisfied with the chancellor’s performance, while 13 percent were satisfied.
- Frei called it a central question whether the coalition can advance its planned reforms in the autumn, while Merz is currently trying to push the cabinet toward a faster pace at a retreat in Neuhardenberg.
- After the first day of the retreat, Chancellery Minister Nina Warken said she was confident that the contentious pension reform and reforms to long-term care insurance and working-time law would be launched this year.
This is not a menu laid out before us, where you pick one point and leave another.— Thorsten Frei, leader of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, spoke during the Bundestag reform debate about the need to push through difficult reforms.
