In a snap election, 55.4% will vote for the same political force they chose on April 2

20% of Bulgarians think that it is good for our country to be governed by a cabinet elected with the first mandate of GERB - SDS.

19.6% believe that it is better to hold new extraordinary parliamentary elections.

17% want a government with a cabinet issued from the third term of "Vazrazhdane", and 11.4% believe that it is better for a government to be issued with the second term of PP-DB.

About a third of the Bulgarian voters cannot decide which is the best option for the development of our country.

This is shown by the data of an express telephone survey.

conducted by "Sova Harris" according to the method of the standardized telephone interview in the period April 23-25, 2023, among 1010 Bulgarian citizens.

The data that show the changes in the attitudes of the voters, if it comes to holding new extraordinary parliamentary elections, are interesting.

11.8% would vote for a political force other than the one they voted for in the April 2 election.

55.4% will vote for the same political force they chose in the last election.

Another 11.0% state that they voted in April this year, but will not vote in the next special election;

5.8% did not vote in April, but will vote next April.

"The conclusion is that the disappointments are great and can cause significant shifts with even lower voter turnout," Sova Harris points out.

We can perceive the evaluation of the work of the caretaker government as relatively good, since 29.8% consider that it is doing successfully.

It is expected that in the conditions of the crisis, negative assessments will prevail - 41.6%.

Naturally, when forming this position, political biases are also important, "Sova Harris" points out. 

According to public opinion, acting Prime Minister Galab Donev received the highest rating for his work - 35.6% believe that he is doing a good job.

In his group, we can also include the Minister of Youth and Sports Vesela Lecheva (30.4%) and the Minister of Social Affairs Lazar Lazarov (30.0%).

Ivan Demerdzhiev - Minister of Internal Affairs (28.6%), Hristo Alexiev - Minister of Transport and Communications (27.4%), Asen Medjidiev - Minister of Health (27 .0%), Atanas Pekanov – Minister of European Funds Management (26.4%), Yavor Gechev – Minister of Agriculture (25.2%).

According to about a quarter of the voters, some of the ministers should remain in the next cabinet.

It is known that if the next government is regular, it cannot be done for political reasons.

However, this attitude shows a positive assessment of the work done by the office, the agency also states.

The data are from an express telephone survey, representative of the adult population of the country, conducted by SOVA HARIS using the standardized telephone interview method in the period April 23-25, 2023, among 1,010 Bulgarian citizens.

The study was commissioned by DIR.BG.
