Yusuf appreciates and appreciates the survey results from Political Indicators which show that the level of public satisfaction with President Joko Widodo’s performance is still very high.

According to Yusuf, this high level of satisfaction is proof that the government’s hard efforts in various fields, from infrastructure, health, education, to handling the pandemic and economic recovery, have benefited the community.

On the other hand, the government is still faced with many challenges. Therefore, President Jokowi continues to encourage innovation and improvement in government administration.

On a previous occasion, Executive Director of Political Indicators Burhanuddin Muhtadi said the trend in satisfaction with Jokowi was decreasing. Based on this data, there was a decline in the Political Indicators survey in July 2024 at 82% and September 2024 at 75%.

This survey also shows that the majority of the public considers the condition of eradicating corruption in the current government to be poor. “Eradicating corruption is often considered bad/very bad,” explained Burhanuddin.

Based on the Political Indicator survey trend, the trend of the public assessing the eradication of corruption as bad tends to increase from 34% to 37.7%. Then those who rated the eradication of corruption as good fell from 29.4% to 26%. (Ant/P-2)
