A recent survey by The Indonesian Research and Development Institute (IRDI) has revealed most Indonesians are satisfied with the performance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Jusuf Kalla.
The third national survey interviewed 2,000 respondents between Oct. 6 and Oct. 13.
IRDI's director Nofrida Mandica said here Monday most respondents were pleased with the education, health and security programs implemented by the pair, Antara news agency reported.
When asked about health and security agendas respectively, 57.9 and 57.6 percent of those surveyed responded positively; 55.5 percent gave positive marks to programs on education; and 52.7 percent approved of corruption eradication efforts.
Dissatisfied responses clustered around rising prices on necessities and ongoing poverty issues: 63.5 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with programs to control staplefood prices, 52.4 percent were displeased with efforts to solve poverty and unemployment problems, while 49.3 percent were dissatisfied with fuel and gas distributions in the past six months.
The survey also demonstrates that a large portion of respondents were unfamiliar with initiatives targeting low-income families such as the schoolbook subsidy program (30.3 percent) and the microenterprise credit fund (39 percent).
"On the positive side, 75.9 percent of respondents were aware of the school operational funds (BOS) program," Nofrida said. (ewd)
