GOAL
As it is the case every six months, in January
and June, we conduct surveys to assess the image
of politicians and confidence in institutions.
Towards this goal, in this study, job approval
ratings of President, Prime Minister, opposition
leaders and ministers are surveyed. Public
confidence in major institutions is also within
the scope of this survey. Our findings are
presented in comparison to findings in our
previous surveys.
