Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The plan is for Germany to have a new government by mid-April that would end half a year of political paralysis after Scholz's three-way coalition imploded in November.
35% : The spending boost - which Merz's Bavarian ally Markus Söder has termed an "XXL"-sized splurge - comes in response to Trump and his administration casting doubt in Europe on the future strength and reliability of the Nato alliance.
