Two-thirds are optimistic in the poll despite the crown crisis

At the end of the Crown crisis in 2020, according to a survey, Germans are surprisingly in a good mood. Two-thirds are optimistic that Germany can solve the problems and emerge from the crisis in a positive way: this is the result of a survey carried out by the YouGov Institute on behalf of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, affiliated to the FDP, which AFP has exclusively.

56 percent said they had “prepared well for things to start over at some point.” On the other hand, only a quarter of the respondents were restless and unbalanced.

The majority of 52 percent of those surveyed said they had almost completely withdrawn from the public out of consideration for other people. Many tried to make sensible use of the time saved: 45 percent said they had used the time to rethink some things in their own lives or to put them in order. Only 38 percent said they had lost quality of life due to crown-related restrictions.

Obviously, the crisis also strengthened the will to think again: 62 percent said society should leave outdated thought patterns behind and seek new ways of life, health conditions permitting.

After all, 58 percent of those surveyed said they feared that “the Crown crisis has caused permanent damage to society that cannot be repaired.” The poll also showed an aversion to debates about fear: 63 percent said they had enough fear that it dominates the current debate.

Most of those surveyed were satisfied with the economic system. Sixty per cent considered that the social market economy had worked well and had protected prosperity and social security. However, the demand that the state should go back to being much more economically active was also supported by the majority (56 percent).

For the representative online survey, the YouGov Institute surveyed 2,035 people between December 21 and 23.
