Saxony-Compass: How SIE evaluates the state government and Kretschmer

In Saxony, the state elections are just around the corner, and the attention of the citizens is aimed at the achievements of the current state government and the satisfaction with Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU). The Saxony-Compass, a project by the Sächsische Zeitung and the Leipzig Volkszeitung, asked more than 23,000 Saxon citizens to get a detailed insight into the opinions of the population.

In the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains (SIE), a differentiated picture is shown in the population. About half of the respondents state that they are satisfied with the work of Kretschmer, whereby 17 percent even state that they are "very satisfied". 24 percent are "partially satisfied". This means that there is also a significant number of people who are less enthusiastic: 12 percent are "rather not satisfied" and 11 percent "not satisfied" at all. This suggests that Kretschmer is quite high in the region, but also has room for improvement.

satisfaction with the state government

A look at the general satisfaction with the Saxon state government has been less positive. In SIE, only 28 percent of the participants stated that they were "very" or "rather" satisfied. The majority, namely 43 percent, describes an ambiguous attitude and is "partially satisfied". In addition, 26 percent express their dissatisfaction with the current government. This shows that while Kretschmer stands relatively well, the state government will experience less approval as a whole.

In comparison to other regions in Saxony, SOE does better, especially compared to the districts of Erzgebirge and Vogtlandkreis, where dissatisfaction is significantly higher. Here, 44 percent of the residents in the Erzgebirge district and 41 percent in the Vogtlandkreis indicate that they are dissatisfied with the state government. A possible reason for this dissatisfaction could be the lower average gross earnings in these regions.

special satisfaction in rural areas

In the rural areas of SIE, there are other interesting trends to be observed. The people in the Easter Mountains show the greatest satisfaction with Kretschmer's work; Here, 53 percent of the respondents state that they are "very" or "rather satisfied". In Saxon Switzerland, especially in areas such as Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel and Königstein, greater approval to the state government is also determined with 34 percent of the votes. However, it is noteworthy that Pirna is not part of these satisfied places, which could possibly indicate local challenges.

The results of the Saxony compass could take a look at the upcoming elections and show which topics are important for voters. The partly critical votes on the state government and the different views between rural and urban areas could be decisive for the decisions of the citizens.

meaning of the survey for the elections

The survey results are not only important for political decision -makers, but also reflect the mood among the citizens who will hand over their voices in less than a week. Opinions about Kretschmer and the state government could be crucial for the political landscape of Saxony. A certain degree of dissatisfaction could persuade voters to send a clear message in the electoral cabin, especially in regions with low approval values compared to the state government.

political framework in Saxony

The political landscape in Saxony has been shaped by an increase in support for the CDU in recent years, while the right -wing populist party AfD was also able to gain significant influence. This dynamic has been reflected in the surveys on the state government and to Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer. The CDU has positioned itself through a policy of stability and progress, while the AfD in rural areas often finds approval with dissatisfaction on social and economic issues.

The state government has focused on topics such as education, infrastructure and social policy in order to address the different needs of the population. The economic development in Saxony is relatively stable compared to other federal states, although there are regional differences that can lead to different support for political decisions. One example is the increasing need for education in urban areas compared to rural circles such as the Erzgebirge district.

Current surveys and data on satisfaction in Saxony

According to a current survey by the Sächsische Zeitung, satisfaction with the state government and the Prime Minister are crucial for the upcoming state elections. The results of the Saxony compass show that the state elections coincide with an overall positive perception of the government by part of the population. Regarding the state government, 28 percent of the respondents from SIE stated that they were satisfied, which is quite passable compared to other regions. Interestingly, the survey shows that sporting and cultural investments have a significant impact on the satisfaction of citizens.

In addition, there are reports from the State Statistical Office of Saxony, according to which the Saxon Switzerland-Osterzgebirge district is an area characterized by tourism. The increasing number of visitors and the associated income could have an impact on the approval of the state government by being an indicator of a successful economic and political strategy.
