Economics Minister Guy Parmelin follows in second place.
This puts the youngest and oldest ministers in the top positions. Energy Minister Albert Rösti follows in third place, as he did in September 2023.
President Karin Keller-Sutter has to make do with fourth place. Justice Minister Beat Jans, Home Affairs Minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider and Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis follow in fifth to seventh place. Baume-Schneider has improved by one place compared to two years ago, while Cassis has fallen back.
Overall, satisfaction with the Swiss executive has fallen according to the survey. The popularity of the individual federal councillors has also declined. For the election survey, the Leewas research institute was commissioned by 20 Minuten and Tamedia to interview 14,775 people from all over Switzerland this September.
