Merz's Conservative Bloc Slips Behind Far Right in New Survey
Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU/CSU bloc again slipped behind the far-right Alternative for Germany party in a voter poll, while the German leader's personal approval rating sank to the lowest level since he took office three months ago.
The Christian Democratic Union and its Bavaria-based Christian Social Union sister party declined one point to 24% in the latest Forsa survey for RTL/ntv. The AfD climbed one point to 26%, matching a record high it hit in April when it briefly overtook Merz's conservative alliance.
