After Angela Merkel failed to form a coalition between the CDU / CSU, the liberals and the "green", the political future of the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany became vague. Polls showed that 45% of Germans are ready for a second election, and the government, consisting of members of the CDU and "green" is ready to support only 24% of respondents, according to Express. The popularity of Frau Merkel continues to fall, it is supported by only 38.5% of respondents, and 54% are confident that the Chancellor should not pretend to chair the head of Germany. At the same time, Merkel's party members also express their disappointment in the policy of the Chancellor. Thus, in Dusseldorf, the leader of the Youth wing of the CDU urged her to step down as chairman of the party and not to stand for election in the upcoming elections.

It is noted that now the CDU is at the lowest mark of popularity for all of its existence (the party was established in 1949). Opponent Merkel of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) Marie-Agnes Strak-Zimmermann said that the chancellor did a lot for the country, but now she lost the vision of the future for Germany. "For a country like Germany to feel confident in the future, new ideas are needed. It seems to me that they have ended with Merkel, "added Shtrak-Zimmermann.
