German term or phrase: Zustimmungsraten
Merkel sei kurz nach ihrer Wahl vor sechs Monaten von den Kommentatoren schon abgeschrieben worden, schreibt "Time"-Redakteur Michael Elliott. Doch jetzt könne sie auf hohe Zustimmungsraten blicken und auf einen Wirtschaftsaufschwung, der ihr zugeschrieben werde. Merkel habe den Deutschen das Lachen zurückgegeben, heißt es in der heute veröffentlichten Ausgabe des Magazins. "Sie mag gelegentlich etwas fade wirken, erntet mit ihrer Betonung auf ruhiger, sachlicher Kompetenz aber rundherum Beifall." Neben ihr fanden sich in der Kategorie "Führer und Revolutionäre" auch der Papst, US-Präsident George W. Bush und der iranische Präsident Mahmud Ahmadinedschad.
