The Gerindra Party has addressed the latest survey results from SMRC,\nwhich indicate a decline in public satisfaction levels regarding the\nperformance of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.<\/p>\n
Gerindra Party Spokesperson, Sugiat Santoso, stated that fluctuations\nin public satisfaction towards the government are a normal occurrence in\na democracy. However, the party intends to use these findings for\nevaluation purposes.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the Gerinda Party, surveys are a good evaluative instrument, but\nthey are not the sole determinant of policy direction,\u201d Sugiat told\nreporters on Friday, 31 July 2026. \u201cElectability figures or public\nsatisfaction levels are dynamic; ups and downs in surveys are common in\na democracy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the Gerindra Party is not panicking over the\nsurvey results, viewing the data instead as constructive input for the\ngovernment. \u201cWe read these figures clearly as an alarm and an honest\naspiration from the community that must be responded to with accelerated\nperformance, rather than political anxiety,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Sugiat noted that the fluctuations in survey figures are\na natural part of the ongoing process of policy transition and\nrestructuring being designed by the government. \u201cWhen the government is\nundertaking fundamental improvements, such as budget restructuring,\nprice stabilisation, and the preparation of national-scale programmes,\npublic reaction can indeed be very dynamic,\u201d Sugiat explained.<\/p>\n
He stated that the government\u2019s primary focus at present is\nmaintaining the stability of basic commodity prices, creating jobs, and\nimproving the quality of education. \u201cPresident Prabowo\u2019s administration\nis committed to resolving the nation\u2019s fundamental issues, including the\ncontinuity of strategic national programmes such as the Free Nutritious\nMeal (MBG) and economic restructuring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The party remains optimistic that public satisfaction will rise again\nas more government programmes and policies begin to be felt by the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
