Today marks the second anniversary of Prabowo and Gibran taking\noffice. They won the election after securing 58.6 per cent of the vote\nin a quick count conducted in March 2024. Several polling organisations\nhave presented data on public satisfaction with the government\u2019s\nperformance.<\/p>\n
According to a compilation by detikcom, public approval ratings for\nthe Prabowo-Gibran administration in its second year have fallen\ncompared with the previous year. In 2025, Poltracking recorded an\napproval rating of 78.1 per cent. This year, Poltracking said 55.3 per\ncent of respondents were satisfied with the government\u2019s\nperformance.<\/p>\n
The Poltracking survey was conducted from 30 September to 7 October\n2026. Respondents were Indonesian citizens eligible to vote, aged 17 or\nover or married.<\/p>\n
In a similar finding, Parameter Politik Indonesia recorded public\nsatisfaction with the government\u2019s performance at 65.4 per cent this\nyear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen those who are very satisfied and satisfied are combined, the\ntotal is 65.4 per cent. Meanwhile, around 32.5 per cent said they were\ndissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the government\u2019s performance\noverall. Some 2.1 per cent said they did not know or did not answer,\u201d\nsaid PPI Executive Director Adi Prayitno during an online presentation\nof the survey on Sunday (18 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC) recently released a\nsimilar survey, according to detiknews. Its result was considerably\nlower than those reported by Poltracking and PPI: 44.5 per cent of\nrespondents said they were very or fairly satisfied with Prabowo\u2019s\nperformance as president.<\/p>\n
Despite the ratings reported by the polling organisations,\nCoordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said\nIndonesia still had the potential to strengthen its economy. Amid the\nthreat of MSCI downgrading the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG), the\nGolkar politician also said political and economic conditions had\nremained stable during the administration\u2019s first two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully, the situation has been relatively stable \u2014 politically,\neconomically and socially,\u201d Airlangga told reporters at the Presidential\nPalace complex in Jakarta on Monday (19 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Prabowo, reflecting on his second year in office, has also said that\nthe government has worked hard. He claimed that, because of the efforts\nmade so far, members of the Cabinet sometimes fail to recognise how much\nhas been achieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, when we work hard and at such an intense pace, we\nourselves do not fully realise how much we have achieved in our first\ntwo years, because we are facing major problems and a world in turmoil,\u201d\nPrabowo said at a plenary Cabinet meeting at the State Palace in Jakarta\non Monday (20 July 2026).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/two-years-of-prabowo-gibran-in-office-1792486378", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
