Confidence in
politics restored
Following a notable dip in the first year of the Grand
Coalition (22 per cent), confidence in politicians and
their actions bounced back this year, with 39 per cent of
respondents saying that politicians were reliable partners. Christian Democrats received the greatest vote
of confidence. 89 per cent of respondents considered
their relationships with the CDU to be constructive.
Governments approval
ratings improve
Similarly, confidence in the Grand Coalitions performance went up. 57 per cent said that the Federal
Government was doing a good job, an improvement
of 14 per cent on last year. Especially the Governments
foreign trade policy, which includes TTIP, was rated
favourably by public affairs professionals. Opposition
parties (i. e. Greens and Left Party), on the other hand,
were given negative ratings.
