...jurist with wide experience in foreign policy and in the chancellery who served as Schroeder's chief of staff, is considered a steady hand on the tiller in turbulent times. Only Merkel scores higher in public opinion polls. But Steinmeier has never run for political office and analysts question whether his current popularity is not more the result of him being foreign minister, a post that traditionally receives high ratings from the public, than his electability.
