"Myara" polls: Public Attitudes Towards the Government After the First 100 Days of the "Zhelyazkov" Cabinet

A survey by the polling agency "Myara" shows that, 100 days after the current government took office, 19.2% of the public have a positive opinion of the government, while 66% have a negative one.

The data from previous months reflect the typical pattern in research practice: a gradual establishment of the usual skepticism towards the government after the initial period of trust.

Similar sentiments are observed towards the Parliament. Only 15.2% of Bulgarian adults hold a positive view, while 75.1% have a negative opinion. Data from previous waves show consistently negative levels, with minimal fluctuations.

Against this background, attitudes towards the president seem to be contrasting. 49.4% are positive and 35.4% are negative. Attitudes in this case are consistently positive with some fluctuation.

If elections were held in mid-April, GERB-UDF would receive 26.4% of the vote, We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria would get 14.2%, and "Vazrazhdane" would garner 13.3%. MRF - New Beginning stands at 10.3%, and Alliance for Rights and Freedoms at 7.1%. The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) would secure 6.7%, followed by There is Such a People at 6.3%, MECH (Morality, Unity, Honour at 6.2%, and "Velichie" at 4.3%. Thus, the electoral landscape remains largely unchanged since the elections in the autumn of 2024. Notably, more protest-oriented parties appear to be gaining strength, while the more pragmatic ones maintain their positions.
