The current head of the German government, Olaf Scholz, has fewer and fewer chances of being re-elected as chancellor, as the difference in polls between him and CDU leader Friedrich Merz is deepening, Bild reports.

While the Social Democratic chancellor currently enjoys the support of only 14-16% of voters, 31-33% of supporters said they are ready to vote for his main rival, narrowing the gap between the two candidates in the polls to 15-19 points, polls show.

By comparison, before the 2021 election, the CDU/CSU bloc enjoyed the support of 27% of voters in opinion polls and came out ahead of Scholz's party by just 9.5%. At that time, the Social Democrat leader managed to leave his rivals behind, a feat that experts say is almost impossible to repeat.

"While Scholz can still catch up [with Merz], he can no longer overtake him, as the gap between the SPD (Social Democratic Party - TASS) and the CDU/CSU is too big to bridge," said Hermann Binkert, who heads the INSA institute. If this trend continues, Scholz will "lose the chancellorship," he believes.

Earlier, Scholz said in an interview with T-online that he would like to be elected for another term as head of the German government and that he was making every effort to win the next election. He argued that he has "the longest record as a government official, a clear policy course and strong nerves."

On December 27, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier dissolved parliament and called early elections for February 23 after the Bundestag failed to pass a vote of confidence in Chancellor Scholz.
