Many German voters with a migrant background have more faith in parties from the political center and left. Only among immigrants from the former Soviet Union and their descendants do the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) have a relatively good position.
Voters' concerns, however, are similar, according to the latest study by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (Dezim).
The weak German economy and inflation are currently the number one problem for Germans with and without a migrant background.
People with roots abroad are also more likely to fear becoming victims of crime. According to the study's authors, material living circumstances also play a role in this.
"Precarious economic conditions and lack of housing are often associated with higher crime rates," the study said.
The researchers asked study participants which parties they considered worthy of voting. The SPD has the highest electoral potential with 74 percent, followed by the CDU and CSU, the Greens and the liberals (FDP).
However, when looking at different groups, differences are noticeable. For example, among voters with roots in countries outside the European Union, the Greens have less support than among citizens without a migrant background.
The Left (Die Linke) and the Sara Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) have greater electoral potential among all foreign-origin groups studied by scientists than among voters without a migration history.
But there is an exception. People with roots in Russia or other areas of the former Soviet Union have slightly less trust in the Left Party.
Persons of migrant origin in the study are considered to be those who have at least one parent who was a foreign citizen at birth.
Among the topics that have been of great concern to these people recently is the conflict in the Middle East.
This conflict is often viewed differently among people from Turkey and the Arab world than among Germans who do not have a migrant background.
As many as 42,7 percent of respondents with roots abroad expressed great concern about the conflict, while the share among others was 34,8 percent.
