Chancellor polling for the 2021 German federal election

In the run-up to the 2021 German federal election, various organisations will carry out opinion polling to gauge Chancellor preferences in Germany. Results of such polls are displayed in this list.

The date range for these opinion polls are from the previous federal election, held on 24 September 2017, to the present day. The next election will be held on 26 September 2021, unless a State of Defence is called before then.

Some opinion pollsters, mainly Forsa, ask voters which party leader or popular politician they would prefer as Chancellor since Angela Merkel announced to step down as Chancellor of Germany at the forthcoming election.

Chancellor candidates

These polls gauge voters' opinions on the three main parties' Chancellor candidates: Armin Laschet for CDU/CSU (Union), Olaf Scholz for the Social Democratic Party, and Annalena Baerbock for Alliance 90/The Greens.
