Public Domain asked respondents whether they approve of the job being done by the prime minister. Twenty-three percent said they strongly approve and 42 percent said they somewhat approve.
Nine percent somewhat disapprove; nine percent strongly disapprove and 16 percent said they don’t know.
There was not a huge difference in percentages when broken down by sex and age.
When asked if they approve of the job being done by the government, 21 percent said they strongly approve and 43 percent said they somewhat approve.
Ten percent said they somewhat disapprove and 11 percent said they strongly disapprove.
Sixteen percent said they don’t know.
The largest “strongly disapprove” response came from males 55 and older — 22 percent said they strongly disapprove of the job being done by the Davis administration.
Nineteen percent of males 55 and older said they “strongly disapprove” of the job being done by the prime minister himself.
The largest “strongly approve” response to both questions also came from males in that age group — in both instances, 28 percent said they strongly approve of the job the prime minister is doing, and the job the Davis administration is doing.
Public Domain said it conducted a telephone survey September 5-7, 2023.
