According to the Forsa poll, the Union party currently enjoys a support level of 31 percent, which contrasts with a recent Insa poll that reported only 29 percent.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has seen a slight decline, now at 19 percent, while the Social Democratic Party (SPD) remains steady at 16 percent and the Greens at 13 percent.

The upcoming Bundestagswahl, or federal election, is the most pressing concern for 69 percent of Germans, overshadowing other issues like the situation in the USA, which is a priority for 27 percent.

A recent poll conducted by Forsa, which surveyed 2,502 participants from mid-January, indicates a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.

Despite the varying levels of support, 54 percent of citizens express distrust in all parties to effectively address Germany's issues, with the Union being the most trusted at 19 percent.

In terms of preferences for chancellor, Friedrich Merz and Robert Habeck are tied at 23 percent, while Olaf Scholz and Alice Weidel both sit at 16 percent.

As political dynamics shift, potential coalitions are being discussed, including partnerships between the Union and either the SPD or the Greens, while all parties have dismissed any alliance with the AfD.

Currently, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the BSW are polling at 4 percent, and the Left Party at 3 percent, suggesting they may not secure seats in the Bundestag if elections were held now.

Should the FDP, BSW, and Left Party fail to enter the Bundestag, it would mean that approximately 20 percent of votes would go unrepresented.

In direct matchups, Merz leads Habeck 30 percent to 26 percent and also has an edge over Scholz, leading 26 percent to 23 percent.

The proportion of votes for other parties, which have little chance of entering the Bundestag, has risen to 10 percent.
