IDM Survey Shows 81.5 Per Cent Public Satisfaction with Prabowo

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesia Development Monitoring (IDM) survey shows that the level of public satisfaction with President Prabowo Subianto’s performance during the first semester of 2026 reached 81.5 per cent.

IDM Executive Director Dedy Rohman stated that this high level of satisfaction is influenced by public assessments of the government’s commitment to strengthening law enforcement, maintaining economic stability amidst global uncertainty, and implementing priority programmes whose benefits are beginning to be felt by the community.

“The public sees President Prabowo’s commitment to strengthening law enforcement, maintaining economic stability amidst global uncertainty, and executing priority programmes that are starting to benefit the people,” Dedy said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday.

IDM noted that 86.7 per cent of respondents expressed satisfaction with the government’s steps in law enforcement, particularly the handling of alleged corruption in several priority programmes such as the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG), the Red and White Village Cooperative (KDMP), People’s Schools, and social assistance.

In the economic sector, 65.3 per cent of respondents assessed that the government has successfully maintained national stability, while 61.4 per cent described the current economic condition as average, 10.1 per cent rated it as good or very good, and 27.2 per cent rated it as poor or very poor.

The survey also showed public support for several of the government’s priority programmes. The People’s School programme received the highest approval rating at 85.6 per cent, followed by social assistance at 81.2 per cent, the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) at 68.4 per cent, and the Red and White Village Cooperative at 53.5 per cent.

Meanwhile, 75.3 per cent of respondents stated they liked the President’s communication pattern with the public, although IDM noted that the government’s communication aspects still need to be strengthened to ensure policy delivery becomes more effective.

The IDM survey was conducted from 11-20 July 2026, involving 1,640 respondents across all provinces using a multi-stage random sampling method and face-to-face interviews verified digitally. The survey has a confidence level of 95 per cent with a margin of error of approximately ± 2.37 per cent.
