Angela Merkel appeared to be powering ahead Monday to a fourth term as chancellor of Germany, after her rival Martin Schulz failed to halt her advance in a crucial TV debate three weeks before elections.
Sunday's prime-time TV clash had been billed as Schulz's last chance to sway a decisive share of voters to his cause and halt a devastating popularity slide.
But polls following the 90-minute showdown, which was watched by 16.1 million people, gave Merkel the clear edge over Schulz Cheap Oscar Lindberg Jersey , a former European Parliament chief.
"Merkel came out as sure, Schulz was hardly able to land a punch. The candidate is an honorable man. But being honorable alone won't make one chancellor," wrote Sueddeutsche daily commentator Heribert Prantl.
With millions of voters still undecided, Schulz had been looking to the debate to erode the commanding 17-percentage point lead of Merkel's CDU party and their Bavarian CSU allies ahead of the September 24 polls.
Schulz Cheap Cody Eakin Jersey , who had previously complained that Merkel was lulling voters to sleep with her refusal to engage in combative debate, went on the offensive quickly on the hot-button issue of migration.
He accused Merkel of failing to coordinate plans with EU neighbors when she decided to open Germany's borders in 2015 to allow in refugees, many from war-torn Syria and Iraq.
But Merkel was not rattled, countering that: "In the life of a chancellor Cheap Reilly Smith Jersey , there are moments when you have to make a quick decision."
But for the minor skirmishes, commentators lamented it was more of a "duet than a duel" in the spirit of the right-left "grand coalition" Merkel has led since 2013.
"That wasn't a TV debate, it was a torturous 90-minute grand coalition therapy discussion," said Dietmar Bartsch Cheap Colin Miller Jersey , a candidate from the far-left Die Linke.
"Nothing on climate, nothing on education, nothing on digitalization," Greens party leader Cem Ozdemir tweeted during the event. "When will they start talking about the future?"
Opinion polls following the program showed a clear victory for Merkel Cheap Deryk Engelland Jersey , with public broadcaster ARD saying 55 percent found her more convincing while 35 percent plumped for Schulz.
