poll rating
The result of an opinion poll expressed as a percentage, measuring the approval or popularity of, for example, political parties or individuals.

The governing party's poll ratings have fallen in recent weeks.
'Umfragewert' (poll rating) is a compound noun made up of 'die Umfrage' (survey/poll) and 'der Wert' (value). It therefore describes the value determined in a poll.
Ein guter Umfragewert ist für Politiker vor einer Wahl sehr wichtig.
A good poll rating is very important for politicians before an election.
Poll ratings are often combined with verbs of change. Typically, they can 'steigen' (rise), 'sinken' (drop), 'fallen' (fall), 'stagnieren' (stagnate), or simply be 'hoch' (high) or 'niedrig' (low).
Die Umfragewerte für den Kanzler sind stabil geblieben.
The poll ratings for the chancellor have remained stable.
This word is used almost exclusively in the context of politics and market research. You usually read or hear it in the news when it is about the popularity of parties or individuals.
Die neuesten Umfragewerte zeigen einen klaren Trend.
