A recent NIDA Poll reveals widespread dissatisfaction with the government’s performance over the past nine months, indicating a lack of confidence among the populace.
Conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) on June 4th and 5th, the survey involved phone interviews with 1,310 individuals aged 18 and above from various backgrounds to gauge their opinions on the current administration.
When asked about their satisfaction with the government’s performance, 31.69% of respondents expressed total dissatisfaction, citing the administration’s failure to deliver on election promises. An additional 34.35% reported general dissatisfaction, pointing to a lack of positive changes and delays in several projects.
Conversely, 25.19% of those surveyed said they were somewhat satisfied, while 7.40% were very satisfied, attributing their approval to the government’s perceived sincerity and hard work. A small percentage, 1.37%, either did not respond or were uninterested in the question.
In terms of confidence in the government, 35.95% of respondents indicated they had no confidence at all, criticizing the government for the lack of positive changes and for addressing issues that appear to serve their own interests. Meanwhile, 35.04% had some but little confidence in the administration.
On a more positive note, 22.14% of participants expressed quite a bit of confidence in the government, and 5.42% reported being very confident in its abilities.
Officials present during the poll’s release included representatives from NIDA, who emphasized the importance of these findings for understanding public sentiment and guiding future policy decisions.
