JAKARTA - The Indonesian Political Opinion Institute (IPO) has released a survey related to the handling of the pandemic and the impact of the 2024 political constellation.

Based on the survey results, as many as 52 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with the performance of President Joko Widodo in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, 41 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with Jokowi's performance.

"Compared to the April survey, the President still gets a satisfaction level of 56, which means there is a fairly sharp decline," said IPO Executive Director Dedi Kurnia Syah in a virtual discussion of the MNC Trijaya Polemic, Saturday, August 14.

Factors of dissatisfaction with President Jokowi's performance in handling the COVID-19 pandemic include the social sector (53 percent), the economic sector (42 percent), and the political and legal fields (54 percent).

Meanwhile, continued Dedi, as many as 58 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with Vice President Ma'ruf Amin's performance in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that, said Dedi, only 32 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with the vice president's performance.

Meanwhile, the factors of dissatisfaction with the Vice President's performance in handling the COVID-19 pandemic include the social sector (62 percent), the economic sector (59 percent), and the political and legal fields (58 percent).

"The vice president is also consistent in public opinion because we are halfway through the period, but the satisfaction rate with the vice president is still 32 percent," he explained.
