The introduction of individual taxation is also supported by 53% of respondents. The SRG halving initiative was rejected by 57% of respondents, while 68% were against the climate fund initiative.

Respondents in the SRG survey conducted between February 11 and 19 were more clearly in favor of the cash initiative, with 61%, and as many as 70% in favor of the counter-proposal. The result for individual taxation would have been a narrow 52% in favor.
