Recent polls in Germany indicate a shift in voter sentiment, with Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) gaining ground while Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD) is losing support. This comes after two months of the new government being in power. The SPD's struggles appear to be particularly pronounced regarding public trust in their military policy. The polls suggest a potential challenge for the ruling coalition as the CDU capitalizes on perceived weaknesses in the government's approach.
