Merkel sinks in polls as more Germans call for her resignation - from TRUNEWS

(TRUNEWS) A new poll shows rapidly declining support for Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel, among Germans.

The Insa survey for Focus magazine polled more than 2,000 people last week and found 40 percent are not satisfied with her job performance, and want her to step down. But, 45.2 percent of Germans said her refugee policy shouldn’t cause her to leave her job.

Another poll released Friday by the Elector Research Group showed support for Merkel’s Christian Democrat party was at 37 percent, down from 42 percent from September.

More than 1.1 million migrants have been welcomed into Germany in the last year, which has caused an uproar.   Thousands of people hit the streets to protest recent crimes committed by gangs of refugees. On New Year’s Eve, there were more than 1200 reports of rape and mass sexual harassment in Cologne, Berlin and Frankfurt. Police were accused of a cover up.

Other politicians sent Merkel a letter Tuesday, threatening court action for failure to secure the country’s borders. Some called for her resignation, as reported by TRUNEWS.
