Some 63% of Bulgarians are pessimists about their country's future, according to a poll conducted by Gallup International in April 2011.
After March became the first month in which over 60% of the surveyed by Gallup were pessimistic about their country's development since the current ruling centrist-right GERB party took over in 2009, April's poll marked a 2% decrease.
Bulgaria's EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva, is the most popular Bulgarian politician, scoring a 62% approval rating.
Lagging far behind are three political figures with an equal rating – Regional Development Minister Rosen Plevneliev, President Georgi Parvanov and Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, all of whom with 39%. Bulgaria's former European commissioner, Meglena Kuneva is also there with 38%, the poll says.
If the Parliamentary election were to be held now in Bulgaria, GERB would claim the victory with 25%, the leftist Bulgarian Socialist Party would gather around 20%, while the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms would attract 6% of the voters.
If Borisov was to face Kuneva in a possible second tour of the upcoming presidential elections, he would gather 33% against her 27% with the rest not voting. Kuneva would beat Plevneliev by 30% to 25%. If Kuneva is to face current Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov, she would win 32% against Tsvetanov's 20%.
