A good third of the total of 1,239 eligible voters surveyed (36 percent) cannot or do not want to commit themselves to the question at the moment.

With the Union supporters, Merz is clearly ahead: 36 percent trust him to chair. 25 percent think Röttgen is suitable, 14 percent Spahn, 9 percent Linnemann and 6 percent Brinkhaus. 10 percent of CDU supporters cannot or do not want to choose between the named politicians.

The CDU wants to re-elect the entire board at a special party congress as a consequence of the historically poor result in the federal election. Party leader Armin Laschet had announced that he would put his own ambitions on hold. (dpa)
