68% of adult Bulgarians approve Premier Simeon Saxe-Coburg. Other 26% still don`t have information enough on the King`s activities in his capacity of Prime Minister. They stay reserve for an unprecedental lifting of his rating. The Chairwoman of the National Center for Public Opinion Research (NTsIOM) polling agency announced this yesterday. These data were extracted from the last representative research, for which 1004 people were inquired. No Premier had ever reached such high a rating during the last 10 years. Dimitar Popov got the approval of 6% less of the audience than Simeon Saxe-Coburg. Philip Dimitrov hardly gained 50% of the public`s trust. In the beginning of his mandate Liuben Berov was rated at 43%, Jean Videnov and Ivan Kostov - at 61% each. It`s curious to know, that according to a research from 1991, then one third part of Bulgarian electors thought Simeon II would rise the economics up, and 45% thought we would join Europe faster in case he becomes Prime Minister. Nowadays twice more Bulgarians think this way. The rule of the NMS II gains quite wide a public consensus. 68% of the Bulgarians approve its policy. The UDF`s one is accepted by just 27 percent of the adult people in country. The approval to the NMS II Cabinet deflects in the light of the escalating expectations for personal prosperity in the next one or two years, Jordanova says. In this very moment about 36% of the Bulgarians expect their material state to get improved in 2 years. They are 4 times more than these, thinking their life standard would worsen (8.6%). 42% of the Bulgarians tie their hopes of prosperity to the non-interest credits fund. 53,9% approve the Government and their actions as a whole, although people have no information and they don`t know most of the Ministers, sources form the NTsIOM polling agency say. Most popular and mostly approved is Vice-premier Nikolai Vassilev - he gains 37%. Next on the list are Milen Velchev (33%) and Solomon Passy (30%). The Customs` Head Emil Dimitrov turned out to be much more popular than all of them. He holds 44% of the public approval.
