Friedrich Merz leads a CDU/CSU-SPD coalition that retains a Bundestag majority, creating a high procedural threshold for early removal or snap elections under Germany's parliamentary system. Despite approval ratings stuck near 15-20 percent and AfD gains in eastern state polls ahead of September 2026 votes in Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Berlin, the federal government has shown no signs of collapse through mid-August. Coalition partners continue joint policy work on defense spending, economic reforms, and foreign engagements, including recent diplomacy on Ukraine and energy ties. Traders price an 81.5 percent chance Merz serves through 2026 because low popularity alone rarely triggers resignation or a successful no-confidence vote without broader party defections or a loss of parliamentary support.
