Political doldrums is wrong on the face of it because it means really political ho-hum, i.e. nothing is happening and things are just grinding along. A Durchhänger is a bad performance, like the HSV having had a Durchhänger vs. Nuremberg last Sat., as you soccer fans know.

Comment: "thanks, I know political doldrums got the most votes, but it didn't quite fit with the rest of the text (which you obviously all didn't have). Later on it began referring to the problems regarding the Constitution and the budget, and so I kind of liked this headwinds option."

You are so right, sorry I meant political, not economic.
Thanks Steffen.
