These days, everyone has an opinion but if you want to know the truth, ask your Grab driver or your Barber. They meet people every day and they listen. Coke or Pepsi? Mc McDonald's or Ramly Burger? They have heard it all. And when you ask your Grab Driver or Barber who people are going to vote for in the next general elections, you can be sure that what they tell you will be the truth and nothing but the truth
When there is no Grab Driver or Barber around to tell you how your PMX is doing... who you are going to ask? Merdeka Centre lah!
The approval rating of a leader is what you think of them. Ronald Reagan, judged by many Americans as an outstanding president, highest approval rating was 73%. President Kennedy averaged a 70.1 % approval rating. Donald Trump at his worst was 34%. Any which way you want to take it, political leaders cannot and will not ignore their political ratings. For sure these polls are never accurate but they can give us an indication of how things are.
Back in February 2023, a Merdeka Centre survey told us that PMX's approval rating was almost 70%.
Today PMX's approval rating is at 50%. Make what you want of it. Look at it every which way you want to, but a fall of 18% in PMX's approval rating is not good. Enough said.
He thinks he's safe for another 4 years with the unity gomen and can do as he likes for his own personal agenda.
I read pmx upgrading status of syariah court to same level as civil court. This was not in election manifesto. More money needed to upkeep two legal system simultaneously. By right, gomen should be cutting on spending. Anwar implementing policies he did not complete during his time with dr m.
Most focus group qualitative surveys are based on demographic representations of race ,sex and age and will have a statistical error of 2 to 4 % provided off course there was no biases right from the start.
So given Merdeka past projections,it is mho that it is quite accurate and PMX must heed to it.He should not just listen to his inner circles but also to all his component parties to improve on his policies and implementation of projects esp those of economic matters that benefit the raayat most I e cost of living etc etc
He should spend from now onwards more time on internal matters and not be the unofficial spokesman for Hamas and the like.He should no…
He's losing popularity and I hope he realise that.
I personally would have thought his approval rating currently would be much lower than 50%.
Approval rating and voting for him are 2 different thing.
I personally believe 95% of non malays would vote for him today for fear of the green wave BUT less than 60% would say he is doing a good job……… thus approval for him.
Melayus that will vote for him or satisfied with his overall performance currently will probably be around 30%.
If my theory is right and if the composition of non malays (Indians + Chinese) is 30%, his approval rating should only be around 39%…….
Of course I am not MERDEKA CENTRE 😉
Let us hope that he will now spend more time…
