PRE-ELECTION POLLING RESULTS
Approximately 3 days ago, a pre-election poll was released. We had tried to release this data prior to polling; but it was a challenge getting respondents for this particular survey. This could indicate that many voters are currently on the fence or undecided.
GOVERNMENT APPROVAL RATING RESULTS
Approximately 5 days ago, a survey was released - asking citizens if they approved or disapproved of each relevant Government Official. This survey was independently conducted by Democracy Daily, and is not intended to be used as an indication of the official's effectiveness in Government. It could be seen as good news for many officials, since all of them had an approval of above 50%, although that is a subjective opinion. - As for the overall rating of (1-10), 1 being terrible and 10 being great, Cabinet had an average rating of 7.4 - 74% of citizens feel that the government has properly addressed their concerns, whereas 26% do not feel their concerns were addressed. The specific ratings of each official are in the image below.
