Alice Weidel is now the most popular female politician in Germany and among the top five, while Chancellor Merz is at the bottom of the list. Only 21% of voters support Merz, 12% support the SPD, and the Alternative for Germany leads with 29% support. Overall, 35% could vote for the opposition, and 31% rule out the Christian Democrats.
The claims about Alice Weidel and Alternative for Germany's popularity, Chancellor Merz's low approval, and support statistics are partially supported by evidence. Web sources confirmed Alice Weidel's prominence but did not emphasize her being the most popular female politician. Merz's low approval ratings are corroborated by evidence showing low satisfaction rates. SPD's 12% support and AfD's 29% support are confirmed by recent polls. The 35% opposition support and 31% ruling out Christian Democrats lack strong evidence. Overall, evidence was mixed, confirming some claims while others remain unresolved due to insufficient corroboration.

Politics
Alice Weidel has become the most popular female politician in Germany.
Web evidence does not explicitly confirm that Alice Weidel is the most popular female politician in Germany. She is noted as a prominent politician leading the AfD, but no definitive rankings list her as the top female politician. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Weidel) provides background. There is no professional fact-check available. This uncertainty results in a moderate score.
