It's good news that Merkel's approval is falling, and 2/3 of Germans disapprove of her rapefugee policies.

This may mean that some sanity may start to prevail in Europe, if it's not too late.

ofc, EU leaders tend to ignore public opinion ..... they think they know best.

I guess if Germany doesn’t see the dire warnings and eventual danger in ignoring a small band of fanatics, no one will.

47 percent for this failure is huge.

There always seem to be 33.3% of most societies today that are total idiots. Unfortunately I think the USA has recently surpassed this “goal.”

Just now disapprove of her?

I guess unless it's your daughter raped, your son or mom stabbed to death by a "lone wolf," the only thing of interest is your vacation, the price of beer, and how many hours you have to work before you get to retire!

Not going to mean anything unless it translates into votes for the anti-immigrant AfD party. Any other party is just another branch of the German UniParty.

“I guess unless it’s your daughter raped, your son or mom stabbed to death by a “lone wolf,”

You raise a point worth pondering. Could the fathers and sons of daughters and mothers murdered by Merkel’s insane immigration policy be preparing to take the commie traitor out?

Point worth considering. Not to compare German men to the French, but it seems the French seem only to be capable of holding candle light vigils and burying their dead, while declaring racism to be unacceptable.
