Germany ARD trend: majority for measures and against start of league

To further loosen measures to contain the crown pandemic? Does the Bundesliga start again despite the virus over the weekend? No, it is the answer of most Germans to both questions in the Germany Trend.

More than half of Germans (56 percent) are in favor of maintaining current restrictions to contain the crown pandemic. This means that every second person entitled to vote is critical to further relaxation. That resulted in Germany trend for ARD Morning magazine. Forty percent of respondents, on the other hand, would like it to ease even further. Especially supporters of the FDP (63 percent) and AfD (61 percent) are in favor of a new opening.

Within a week, opinion nearly reversed: Immediately before the political deal to ease the restrictions, 54 percent of Germans had chosen to withdraw the measures, 41 percent opposed.

Every second against the continuation of the Bundesliga season

Furthermore, the majority of Germans consider that the continuation of the Bundesliga is wrong since Saturday. Every second surveyed (56 percent) criticized the resumption of games. About one in three (31 percent) advocates for the season’s planned resumption with so-called ghost games without an audience.

Even among those who want to see the crown’s measures relax further, there is no clear vote to resume the games: 40 percent of respondents are in favor, 45 percent are skeptical.
