PM Anwar’s approval rating at 50pc, dissatisfaction on the rise
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 — Independent pollster Merdeka Center said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s personal approval rating has slipped to 50 per cent amid rising dissatisfaction with the government’s performance.
In its latest survey findings released today, Merdeka Center said 48 per cent of respondents in its October poll said they were now unhappy with how the Anwar administration was performing.
“In our view, the movements in voter sentiments are largely driven by their concerns over the economy and how it affects their livelihoods.
“Only 31 per cent of the voters think the country is heading in the right direction while 60 per cent think it is heading in the wrong direction.
“The major reasons for the wrong direction are economic issues (56 per cent), political instability (13 per cent) and poor administration (9 per cent),” it said.
