In a new representative poll by the polling institute Civey for the Augsburg General (Thursday edition) 67.1 percent of those surveyed do not believe that Laschet will become the new chancellor. Just one in five respondents (20.7 percent) assume that the CDU leader will succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel. 12.2 percent of those surveyed are unsure.
