Survey participants were also asked whether German Chancellor Angela Merkel should head to the US as soon as possible, to meet the incoming US president. 
Fifty-seven % of respondents said that she should do so, while 33 % said that she shouldn't and 9 % said they didn't know or gave no response. 
Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States this coming Friday, at a ceremony in Washington.
