This survey result can’t really surprise anyone who follows the actions of federal politicians in Germany: the people involved in the Bundestag are doing even worse in the latest survey by the opinion research institute Forsa – a minus of five points, the penultimate place in the trust ranking. Only the banks were rated even worse by the 4,002 respondents.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) performed particularly poorly in the survey: only 20 percent have a lot of trust in the Chancellor, i.e. 13 percent less than in the previous year.
But the media don’t really do well in this survey either: they remain in the bottom third of the ranking, as does the European Union (see graphic).
What is irritating about this Forsa publication is that trust in the Central Council of Jews is questioned (plus three points), but not trust in the Central Council of Muslims – this institution has apparently been forgotten.
At the top of the ranking, unchanged from last year: doctors (81 percent), the police (81 percent) and the universities (73 percent). In addition, the Federal Constitutional Court (74 percent, up four percentage points) and the courts in general (71 percent, up three) have significantly improved values compared to the previous year, reports n-tv. The Bundeswehr had the strongest increase at seven percentage points, with 53 percent now placing great trust in it.
