German Health Minister Jens Spahn has overtaken German Chancellor Angela Merkel in popularity among the country’s residents. This is evidenced by the results of a poll conducted by the Kantar Public Opinion Research Institute for the newspaper Bild am Sonntag, published on Sunday.
According to the study, 52% of respondents were in favor of Spahn having “the greatest possible influence in politics” in Germany in 2021. At the end of 2019, only 28% expressed such an opinion. Spahn is especially popular among women (66%).
“Span is definitely the winner of the year. From the point of view of citizens, he is pursuing a good policy in the context of the coronavirus”, – said Kantar expert Thorsten Schneider-Haase.
