Verité poll shows  Govt. approval up  marginally to 10%

30 Oct 2022

The third round of the Gallup-style “Mood of the Nation” poll was conducted in October by Verité Research to assess the approval, satisfaction, and confidence of the nation in relation to the Government, country, and economy, and showed that the Government's approval rating was up marginally to a still unflattering 10%. Verite announced in a press release yesterday that the poll was conducted as a part of the syndicated survey instrument by Verité. The instrument also provides other organisations with the opportunity to survey the sentiments of Sri Lanka.
  1. Government approval rating of 10% to the question: “Do you approve or disapprove of the way the current Government is working?”, only 10% said they approve. This reflects the same extreme low level it was in January 2022, but it was an improvement from the 3% approval ratings in June 2022.  
  2. Sri Lanka satisfaction of 7% to the question: “In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in Sri Lanka?”, only 7% said they were satisfied. This rating was at 6% in January and 2% in June 2022.
  3. Economic confidence negative (-) 77.9 to multiple choice questions on the condition and trajectory of the economy, which were used to generate an economic confidence score. The score can range from negative (-) 100 to positive (+) 100. A score above zero means more people see the economic conditions positively rather than negatively. If everyone thinks that the economy is in a poor condition (instead of good or excellent), and everyone also thinks it is getting worse (rather than better), then the score would be negative (-) 100. In October 2022, 0.5% rated the economic condition as excellent, 4.8% rated it as good, and 16.2% rated it as getting better. The resulting score was a (-) 77.9 (rounded off as (-) 78).  This rating was (-) 83 in January and (-) 96 in June.
The poll is based on an islandwide nationally representative sample of responses from 1,018 Sri Lankan adults, conducted in October 2022. The sample and methodology was designed to ensure a maximum error margin of under 3% at a 95% confidence interval. The polling partner was Vanguard Survey (Pvt.) Ltd.
