ANGELA MERKEL has been dealt a blow as a new poll showed support for her party has plummeted by eight points while a rival group is fast catching up.
Backing for the Christian Democratic Union dropped while the environmentally friendly Greens enjoyed a boost of 13 percentage points, almost closing the gap between the two parties. The survey shows trouble could be on the cards for the Chancellor’s group at the 2021 federal election. The results come after historian Thomas Meaney warned the future of Mrs Merkel’s party “is in doubt”.
