Nearly two-thirds of those polled in Germany expect the new chancellor, Olaf Solz, to remain in office for just one term, according to a YouGov poll commissioned by the German news agency, the results of which were released today.
Twenty percent of those polled expect the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Free Democrats (FDP), led by an SPD politician, to collapse before the next federal election.
Another 44% estimate that Soltz will remain in office for four years, but will not be re-elected.
Only 16% expect a second term for Soltz.
And only 1.3% of those polled estimate that Soltz will stay as long as his predecessor in office, Angela Merkel.
Merkel will have served as the country’s chancellor for 16 years when she stepped down as Soltz.
The 63-year-old Solz has repeatedly stated that he considers his three-party coalition government a long-term plan beyond the current election term.
A former finance minister and vice chancellor under Merkel, Soltz has pledged to tackle the challenges ahead: “Germany can take off,” he said.
But not even a quarter of citizens in Germany (22%) expect big changes, according to a YouGov poll.
Overall, 51% estimate that the “traffic light” coalition will not bring about much change in the country, with 16% expecting no change.
11% did not answer the poll.
A clear majority of respondents in Germany (55%) are satisfied with Merkel’s term.
Only 38% of respondents said they were dissatisfied and 7% did not provide any information.
