Poll shows 65% of German voters favor immediate new elections

A recent poll shows that 65% of German voters want immediate new elections following the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition. Only 33% support Scholz's plan to hold a confidence vote in January. The coalition, made up of Scholz's Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Free Democrats, fell apart due to internal conflicts. Many voters are pleased with the end of the coalition, with 59% expressing satisfaction. Scholz now leads a minority government and has dismissed his finance minister, which has increased political instability. He is seeking support from the conservative opposition to pass urgent legislation before Christmas.
