criticism

2008: Survey affair in Bavaria

The GMS Institute played a central role in an affair involving CSU- oriented opinion polls by the Bavarian State Chancellery in 2008. The institute had received orders for controversially expensive studies from tax revenues. One study contained suggestions on how the CSU could weaken political opponents. She voted to seek the conflict with the coalition partner FDP . In 2011, the controversial opinion polls led to a warning from the President of the Bundestag to the Bavarian Prime Minister Horst Seehofer . According to the Bundestag administration, there was no violation of the political party law .

Others

In the work Die neue Macht der Bürger published by the political scientist Franz Walter in 2013 , doubts are expressed about a finding by the GMS Institute. On behalf of the Association of Bavarian Business , GMS found that 51 percent of those surveyed were in favor of a faster expansion of the power grid even if overhead lines ran through residential areas and landscapes, which contradicted various studies and surveys by other institutes.
