Nearly 60% of Germans want their Deutschmark back instead of ailing euro

Daily Mail
"The latest poll for the ARD TV broadcaster also showed that 66 percent of Germans fear that the current financial crisis will torpedo their savings.While 57 percent want the D-mark back, only 32 percent said they found anything positive about the common currency.The last euro survey earlier in the year - before Greece and Ireland meltdowns - showed 51 percent wanting the mark back.And seventy five percent believe that it is the financial markets and not the politicians who will decide the eventual fate of the troubled euro.This is the highest percentage of Germans wanting the D-mark to return since several polls in the 1990's showed close to 70 percent of them wanted to retain the currency of the 'economic miracle.'The zone's financial stability is still far from certain and many analysts believe the crisis will worsen before it gets better."
