"Trend": 22% of Bulgarians support the Denkov Cabinet, GERB remains the first political force

Stabilization in public attitudes in July. Over half of Bulgarians do not want early parliamentary elections. 22% evaluate positively the work of the government. There is some calming in perceptions of the economic outlook, but anxiety remains prevalent. This is according to the latest survey of Trend, dedicated to the attitudes of Bulgarians towards the main institutions and parties.

In July, we registered some stabilisation of the main indicators we test monthly. We report no significant changes in the assessment of the performance of the main institutions and the electoral picture.

Parliament is moving at low levels of approval of its performance, with a slight increase of 3 points to 14% approval in July. The reason is probably the institution's more active work in the last month.

A positive assessment of the work of Nikolay Denkov's office was expressed by 22% of all interviewees. The government finds the strongest support among supporters of "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (over three quarters), while GERB supporters seem to be split down the middle. The electorates of the other formations express overwhelmingly negative assessment.

After a 7% drop in the positive assessment of the president's performance last month, the current survey registers a stabilization in the assessment of the head of state - 37% express a positive assessment and 51% a negative one.

There is no significant dynamics in electoral attitudes. GERB (24.8%) remains the leader with a lead of just over 5% of voters. They are followed by "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" with 19.1% of those who said they would vote in a possible election. The third place remains for "Revival" with 15.5% of those who voted, followed by DPS (13.7%) and BSP (8.6%). "There is such a nation" remains right on the threshold of the parliamentary barrier with 4% of voters. The "support no one" option continues to grow for another month, reaching 6.3% in July.

More than half (52%) of Bulgarians believe that early parliamentary elections are not necessary, while a quarter think they are. A new parliamentary vote is supported among the majority of supporters of Revival and BSP. / BGNES
