In another hammer blow to the Chancellor’s hopes of getting re-elected a majority of voters surveyed said they want to see a new leader in place before the end of the year.

According to a poll carried out by YouGov an overwhelming 64 per cent of Germans think it is time for a fresh face at the helm in Berlin, boosting the campaign of her rival Martin Schulz.

And fewer than one in ten voters strongly believe that Mrs Merkel should lead the country forward for the next four years, underlining an alarming slump in her popularity.

The dynamite result follows a slew of dire opinion surveys for the embattled leader which have shown former eurocrat Mr Schulz making massive inroads into her fragile lead.

It raises the previously unthinkable prospect that Mrs Merkel, for so long seen as bulletproof, could be on course for a humbling defeat in this autumn’s general election.

Her reputation has been badly battered by her controversial open door asylum policy, which divided voters and let to a surge in support for the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland.

And the results of the recent YouGov survey, published yesterday, will make grim reading for the Chancellor and her allies as she plots her re-election campaign.
