Angela Merkel’s conservative alliance fell behind the Greens to its
lowest poll rating on record yesterday, hours after naming its candidate
to succeed her as chancellor of Germany.
The Greens seized a seven-point lead as voters appeared to recoil from
the centre right’s new figurehead, Armin Laschet.
The swing away from Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its
Bavarian affiliate, which are jointly known as the Union, is one of the
sharpest in modern German history.
