German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s popularity has rebounded after the British vote to leave the EU, an opinion poll showed Saturday, reversing a fall in her appeal caused by the refugee crisis.

The poll was the second in a few days to suggest a popularity boost for the German leader.

Saturday’s poll, commissioned jointly by Stern magazine and Die Welt newspaper and carried out by the Forsa market research institute, showed Ms. Merkel’s appeal up two points to 48 percent.

“What’s more, three quarters of CSU supporters now back Merkel,” said Forsa director Manfred Gullner, referring to the southern German affiliate of Merkel’s ruling CDU party. …

The press still can’t settle on “Dr.”, “Mrs.” or “Ms.” to put before Angela’s last name.

Polls..........nothing more need said.

[facedown]

Sure.

[Moonman62]

Importing savages to rape your women is always good for a boost in popularity.

I think "COMRADE" works well.....

"Big Smile.....Big Smile!"

[Menehune56]

I prefer “Frau.”

That means 48% of today’s Germans are idiots. Which really takes away from the zeal of the highly regarded term “German Engineering”. How can their engineering be deemed so superior with so many idiots?

Picking leaders isn’t exactly a strength of the Germans.

[lurk]

This version of Germany is more Tiny Tim than Adolph.

[Robert DeLong]

How many Muslim immigrants (invaders) were included in that poll?

[lee martell]

(?!)...Ich versteher nicht.

[Sequoyah101]

And and an equal or greater number of people here are idiots as well.

Imagine, white people supporting candidates who pander to brown and black people at the expense of whites? Stupid to support the people who would have to do away with you. Like buying the executioner the bullet to shoot you with.

This is much more about media manipulation that it is about Merkel's popularity.

Two points isn't even 'noise'.

[Olog-hai]

Notwithstanding, it’s so important to Agence France-Presse to report on it.

LOL! I wasn't quite sure how to react to this story (it seems ridiculous), but that's perfect! :)

[Nifster]

then the germans deserve what they get

[dfwgator]

The problem is that what Germany does affects the rest of the continent.

[Rebel2016]

Merkel has destroyed Germany and Europe, achieving the feat not even Attilla the Hun and Stalin. Congrats German!

It looks like that is the magic number as the edge of survival for a civilization. Remember Romney spoke of 47% here who were already on the payroll of Uncle Sam democrat politicians who would assuredly vote for democrats any time.
