Poll results released today by the National Democratic Institute (NDI or the Institute) and CRRC Georgia.

In particular, to the question “How would you rate the Government’s performance”, 51% of the respondents said as “bad”, 41% said as “good”, 7% said they did not know and 1% refuse to answer.

According to the poll, Tbilisi and other large cities are most critical towards the Government, so are the younger citizens.

NDI surveys public opinion to help Georgian stakeholders diagnose and address issues of public concern by providing accurate, unbiased and statistically sound data. This poll aims to capture the most relevant information to foster the development of responsive policies and governance. The new report looks at a nationwide survey conducted between July 14 - August 15, through face-to-face interviews with a nationwide representative sample of Georgia’s adult population, excluding occupied territories. The August poll included 2,104 completed interviews. The average margin of error is +/- 2 percent.
