most convincing party in the discussion about switching to climate-friendly heating systems; informed about the federal government´s plans to switch to climate-friendly heating systems; agreement with various statements on the switch to climate-friendly heating systems (I think it is right that the government wants to ban climate-damaging heating systems in the foreseeable future, I am worried that the planned measures for climate-friendly heating will overburden me financially, in the dispute about climate-friendly heating systems, the parties in government and opposition are more concerned with their own impact than with finding a good solution);

agreement with statements on the SPD (people don´t know what it actually stands for, the SPD should leave the coalition with the CDU/CSU and renew itself in opposition, the SPD cares too little about the issues that really move people, the SPD lacks good leadership personnel); agreement with various views on the European Union (we live more securely in Europe because of the EU, membership in the EU ensures that we are doing well economically, EU should be more visible in terms of foreign policy, I can´t see through how the European Union works in Brussels, the EU as a whole should focus more on what unites the community rather than what divides it); agreement with various statements on the grand coalition in Berlin (Angela Merkel is the guarantor that Germans are doing well despite all the crises in the world, the coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD should continue to work until the end of the legislative period in September 2021);

attitudes towards NATO (is important to secure peace in Europe, is superfluous and should be dissolved, Germany needs an alliance like NATO to give itself international weight); agreement with statements on right-wing extremism in Germany (the state too often gives neo-Nazis and right-wing extremists free rein, I am worried that right-wing extremists could change our state, the security services should be given additional powers to monitor communication on the internet and social media more closely, right-wing extremist positions have recently become more socially acceptable in Germany);

general attitude to the future of the European Union (European countries should deepen their cooperation, act more on their own, nothing significant should change); satisfaction with the work of the federal government; views on life in Germany (conditions in Germany are cause for pride, Germany is changing more than I like, I am worried that our culture in Germany is gradually being lost, the federal government cannot assert itself against the power of business on many issues, I am worried that the influence of Islam in Germany is becoming too strong, the state and administration in Germany function well overall); digitalisation: Opportunities vs. risks outweigh opportunities in the digitalisation of our society; opinion on providing personal data when using services on the internet; measures to protect against misuse of personal data (renewing passwords at least every few months, regularly installing software updates, never opening email attachments from unknown senders, frequent use of two-factor authentication, not using public WLAN hotspots); feeling of sufficient security for retirement age; assessment of various SPD proposals to reform the welfare state (people who have paid into unemployment insurance for a long time should receive unemployment benefit I for up to three years in future instead of the previous maximum of two, low-income earners who have paid into the pension fund for at least 35 years should receive a basic pension without a means test, increase in the statutory minimum wage to 12 euros, most Hartz IV sanctions should be abolished, including for younger unemployed people under 25); current SPD proposals to reform the welfare state benefit vs. harm rather or no difference; strength of threat to peace and security in Europe; Brexit: Expectation of an orderly Brexit with a treaty between the UK and the EU or a hard Brexit without a treaty or the UK remaining in the EU; party that has so far been most assertive with its political content in the current federal government (CDU, CSU or SPD); agreement with various statements on the federal government from CDU, CSU and SPD (Angela Merkel has clearly lost support in the governing coalition, the coalition parties are at odds and have no common course, after teething problems the grand coalition has found a good working mode); preferred area for increased government investment (e.g. education); most important and second most important aspect in the decision of the Bundestag on limits for pollutant emissions from diesel vehicles and driving bans for diesel vehicles (health protection of citizens in cities, interests of the car industry, interests of diesel owners, avoidance of restrictions for drivers on where they can drive); driving bans for diesel vehicles after exceeding current nitrogen oxide limits vs. only at higher limits vs. no driving bans for diesel vehicles; housing market: Housing status (renting or owning); personal problems finding affordable housing; agreement with statements on the housing market (housing expenses are a much greater burden on me than they were 5 years ago, I perceive strong competition on the housing market, I repeatedly hear from my personal environment how difficult it is to find affordable housing, I have been actively looking for housing in the last 5 years); dealing with various political issues more at the European level or more from the respective EU member state (refugee policy/immigration policy, defence policy, foreign policy, economy and trade, innovations and new technologies, minimum social standards, consumer protection, climate policy); support in principle for the introduction of a CO2 tax; agreement with various statements on climate protection (too much fear is stirred up in the debate on climate policy, will not be able to stop climate change without restrictions in our lifestyle, I think it is good that the topic of climate protection is currently getting so much attention, I see industry as being more responsible for climate protection than individual consumers like me, Germany should set a good example in climate protection); most competent party with regard to issues of the future; resignation of Andrea Nahles as SPD party leader and chair of the SPD parliamentary group as the right step; plans to introduce a basic pension for low-income earners as a step in the right direction; opinion on means-testing for the basic pension; agreement with various statements on foreign policy (Germany should be more responsive to French President Macron´s proposals for reforming the European Union, Germany should take into account the interests of Eastern and Southern European EU countries more than it has done so far, Chancellor Angela Merkel ensures that Germany is doing well in a troubled world, countries that want to cooperate more closely in the EU should move forward together even if others do not); assessment of the commitment of various actors to environmental and climate protection (companies in Germany, citizens, federal government, European Union, international community of states); agreement with various statements on the subject of rescuing refugees at sea in the Mediterranean (right that Italy denies rescue ships that have taken in refugees access to its ports, good that private initiatives rescue refugees from distress at sea in the Mediterranean, European asylum law should be amended in such a way that the burden on the EU states at the external borders is eased and refugees are distributed as evenly as possible among all member states, find it right that the European Union has suspended sea rescue for refugees from the Mediterranean, the rescue of refugees from distress at sea should in principle not be legally prosecuted); Ursula von der Leyen would be a good President of the EU Commission; preferred decision-making authority when appointing the President of the EU Commission (heads of government of the member states vs. European Parliament); Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer is a good choice as Defence Minister; expectations with regard to the relationship between Great Britain under the new Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the European Union; environmental and climate protection: climate-conscious behaviour can be better achieved through bans on climate-damaging behaviour vs. incentives for climate-friendly behaviour; assessment of concrete measures for environmental and climate protection as sensible or not sensible (expansion of renewable energies, higher prices for air travel, switch from internal combustion engines to alternative drive systems for cars, introduction of a CO2 tax, expansion of emissions trading for companies, promotion of innovation and research, lower prices for rail travel); willingness to support environmental and climate protection with a personal contribution x per month; agreement with statements on the work of the federal government of CDU/CSU and SPD (the federal government promises a lot, but little reaches the people, Angela Merkel is the guarantor that Germans are doing well despite all the crises in the world, the coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD should continue to work until the end of the legislative period in September 2021); opinion on the selection procedure for the SPD chairmanship (I think it is good that the SPD lets the party members vote on the appointment of the future party chairmen, the SPD currently deals too little with content and too much with personnel issues, there are good candidates applying for the SPD party chairmanship); assessment of the different tax treatment after the abolition of the solidarity surcharge for 90 percent of taxpayers as right or wrong; degree of concern about various issues (loss of German culture and language, not being able to maintain standard of living in the future, climate change destroying our livelihoods, social groups drifting further apart, no common answers from the parties to pressing political issues, money problems in old age); evaluation of the individual measures of the federal government´s climate package (introduction of a CO2 tax on petrol, diesel, heating oil, natural gas, cheaper rail tickets for long-distance travel, higher commuter allowance, state scrapping premium for old oil heating systems, higher state purchase premium for electric cars, higher taxes on air travel); overall evaluation of the federal government´s climate package (measures are appropriate, go too far, do not go far enough); agreement with various statements on climate behaviour (I am worried that in future I will have to restrict myself in my everyday life for climate protection, the state has the task of prohibiting citizens and companies from particularly climate-damaging behaviour, the measures of the climate package are a real incentive for me to move around in my everyday life in a more climate-friendly way); acceptance of climate protection actions (as a pupil not going to school but demonstrating, temporarily blocking roads and traffic, temporarily occupying factories, industrial plants or offices); opinion on improving the EU-Turkey agreement: EU should offer additional support to Turkey after accusations of breach of duty; commitment of Interior Minister Horst Seehofer to Italy on the distribution key for Mediterranean migrants is correct; assessment of various politicians as good candidates for chancellor of the CDU/CSU (Armin Laschet, Friedrich Merz, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, Jens Spahn and Markus Söder); personally rather advantages or rather disadvantages due to German unification; comparison of political and social conditions in Germany with those of the former GDR in the following areas: in early childhood care, in the school system, in career development opportunities, in the economy, in travel opportunities, in the health system, in freedom of opinion and in social cohesion; agreement with statements on German unification (the life achievements of former GDR citizens are not sufficiently valued in reunified Germany, culture and mentality in East and West remain different 30 years after the fall of the Wall, for children born today it will no longer matter whether they come from East or West); identity 30 years after the fall of the Wall (more as an East German, as a West German or as a German); frequency of holiday trips to the other part of Germany since the fall of the Wall in 1989; satisfaction with the achievements of the federal government so far in various policy areas (budgetary and financial policy, family policy, digitisation, health policy and care, foreign and security policy, and economic and labour market policy); assessment of the SPD membership vote: Greater persuasiveness by the new SPD party leaders Norbert Walter-Borjans and Saskia Esken; assessment of the continuation of the federal government of CDU/CSU and SPD until the end of the legislative period in 2021; agreement with statements on the federal government (the governing parties are too preoccupied with themselves and their personnel instead of doing their job, if the coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD ends prematurely, I am worried about Germany´s political stability, new elections are best in the current political situation); attitudes towards NATO (we should become more independent from NATO and build a European military alliance, it is in Europe´s interest to maintain a common military alliance with the US).

lost confidence in the German automotive industry due to the exhaust scandal; assessment of responsible politicians´ dealings with the automotive industry; full term of office for Angela Merkel as Federal Chancellor vs. make room ahead of time for successors; opinion on the Ukrainian conflict (it is understandable that Russia sees itself threatened by the Western conflict, Germany should take on a leading mediating role in the Ukrainian conflict, Putin is willing to use any means to assert Russian interests, the West should make greater efforts to engage in dialogue with Russia, or Russia should make greater efforts for a dialogue with the West, Russia bears a large part of the responsibility for the escalation in Ukraine, EU should further tighten the sanctions against Russia); opinion on the CDU/CSU (disproportionately much power of the CSU in the Union, good if one could vote for CSU outside Bavaria, weakening of the Union by Horst Seehofer´s behaviour towards Angela Merkel, election campaign in Bavaria more important than a stable formation of government in Germany); opinion on the grand coalition: own interests for CSU more important than government success; opinion on CDU and Chancellor Angela Merkel (lack of clarity about political convictions of Angela Merkel, CDU under Merkel neglects the concerns of the population in refugee policy, Merkel has her best times as Chancellor behind her, Angela Merkel is a good Chancellor, time for personnel renewal, Angela Merkel stands for political stability in Germany);

party with the strongest negotiating positions in the coalition negotiations; opinion on the duration of government formation (Germany loses influence in the European Union, understanding for long government formation, worries that important domestic political issues will not be addressed); new regulation of family reunification in the coalition agreement goes into the right vs. in the wrong direction; relationship between women and men: appropriate consideration in society of the interests of women and men;

future of the EU: preference for stronger cooperation between EU member states vs. more national decisions; development of relations between Germany and France since President Emmanuel Macron took office; opinion on the EU (good that Macron wants to take the EU forward with a series of proposals, Macron´s proposal for closer cooperation on financial policy in the EU goes too far, Chancellor Merkel should be more passionate about the EU); rating the award of the Football World Cup to Russia as correct vs. a mistake; assessment of the doping problem at the football World Cup in Russia; economic sanctions by the EU against Russia for annexing the Crimea are appropriate; absence of the German Chancellor and Minister from the football World Cup because of criticism of Russia is appropriate; probability of implementation of the agreement on nuclear disarmament between US President Trump and North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un; opinion on US President Donald Trump (support for the summit between Trump and Kim Jong Un, understanding for the prioritisation of American interests, concern about intensified international conflicts through Trump´s policy, threatens peace and security in the world);

expected improvement of the situation of patients through the planned reform of the employment of nursing staff depending on the amount of nursing care needed; assessment of the success of the immigration policy: Integration of refugees into the labour market and into society, deportation of rejected asylum seekers, housing and distribution of refugees in Germany, prevention of violence and crime; observation of the AfD by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is appropriate; politicians responsible for the current state of the Federal Government (Angela Merkel, Horst Seehofer, Andrea Nahles, all, none of them, do not know, no information);

appropriate efforts of the federal government with regard to climate protection; opinion on the CDU (one does not know what it actually stands for, has achieved nothing conspicuous in the federal government in recent years, too close to the interests of industry, good that the CDU is openly discussing the reorientation of the party); Opinion on the SPD (one does not know, for which it actually stands, in the last years in the Federal Government nothing remarkable achieved, renewal of the SPD comes under Andrea Nahles well ahead, well that SPD thinks about correction of the Hartz IV laws);
