The prime minister’s approval rating remained stable in positive territory despite a marginal decline as found in the opinion poll released by Merdeka Center for Opinion Research today.
69% of Malaysians said that they were satisfied with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s performance in this survey which is slightly lower compared to 72% recorded in May 2010. Within the 69% who approved, 22% reported “very satisfied” and the remaining 47% reported “somewhat satisfied” with the performance of the prime minister. Broken down into ethnic groups, the survey found 74% of Malays, 54% of Chinese and 85% of Indian respondents expressed satisfaction. Overall, the survey found that the number of people dissatisfied with his performance increased slightly to 24% from 21% in May 2010.
From the survey, we note that the slightly reduced approval ratings may be due to public reactions towards the reductions in government subsidies for items such as fuel and sugar which took place during the survey period.
