BERLIN (Sputnik) - Almost half of Germans favor the dissolution of the current government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and about a third blame him for the suspended budget, according to a poll conducted by the Civey sociological institute for German news magazine Focus on Friday.
The poll showed that 49% of respondents would like to see the "traffic light" coalition government, which includes the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Scholz, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens, dissolved. Respondents believe it would be better if the SPD joined forces with the alliance of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) to form a new government.
Another 48% said the coalition's predicament could be due to a multibillion-euro hole in the German budget, which was created when a court ruled that the redistribution of unclaimed loan money from previous years was illegal. As a result, the cabinet has lost the trust of 64% of the population, according to the poll.

When asked who should be held responsible for the budget debacle, respondents were almost evenly divided, with 28% blaming Scholz, 27% saying Economy Minister Robert Habeck of the Greens, and 25% putting the blame on Finance Minister Christian Lindner of the FDP.
The survey was conducted this week among 5,000 respondents. No margin of error was given.
