The issue of German support for Ukraine causes the greatest division among the country's residents, according to the results of the Polarisierungsbarometer survey published on Tuesday, November 10.
This is a regular social study conducted by the MIDEM research center at the Technical University of Dresden.
According to the results of the survey, about 54% of respondents believe that Germany should continue to support Ukraine, while almost 29% have a positive attitude to the idea of getting closer to Russia.
About 17% of the respondents could not decide on an answer.
At the same time, on a scale from 0 to 10, 17.3% of respondents take a very pro-Russian position - 3.6 percentage points more than in 2025.
For a long time, the biggest divide in German society was the issue of immigration.
This year, the distribution regarding the issue remained at the same level: two thirds of the respondents in 2026 were in favor of limiting the flow of foreigners.
50.9 percent of the respondents believed that the redistribution of funds from the rich to the poor is insufficient, while 25.5 percent, on the contrary, considered it excessive.
Regarding the issue of climate change, 43 percent of respondents believe that the measures taken are insufficient, while 37.8 percent find them excessive.
