Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has experienced a significant decline in public approval according to data released by Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC). The latest survey indicates that the president’s approval rating now stands at 51.1%, a notable decrease from the 81.2% recorded in November and the 66.4% reported in March. Concurrently, the percentage of citizens expressing dissatisfaction with the administration’s performance has risen from 16% to a higher figure, though the full extent of the dissatisfaction trend remains in flux as the administration navigates its early term.

The drop in support is largely attributed to economic anxiety among the Indonesian electorate. Voters are reportedly evaluating the president’s ambitious welfare and village-economy initiatives against the reality of their own household financial situations. While the government has prioritized these economic programs, there is growing skepticism regarding the administration's capacity to effectively deliver on its campaign promises. The survey suggests that the gap between the president's policy agenda and the immediate financial pressures felt by citizens is a primary driver of the shifting public sentiment. As the administration continues to roll out its economic platform, the challenge remains to reconcile these high-level policy goals with the practical, day-to-day economic concerns of the population.
