BERLIN (Reuters) - Support for German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives has slipped by two percentage points due to divisions within her parliamentary bloc over a third bailout for Greece and even her own popularity has taken a hit, a poll showed on Wednesday.

The Forsa poll put the conservative bloc of Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) on 41 percent, down two points from a week ago.
