Executive Satisfaction Poll March 2020
Results and Analysis
Written by Istillian, McEntire & United Vietussia
We are now past the mid term and the Executive has had a drastic turnover of staff so far, as such the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation has released and reviewed the recent executive satisfaction poll. This poll attempted to gauge citizens' satisfaction with the current, and some former, executive staff. 17 respondents took the poll, and the review of the results are as follows:
Overall Satisfaction: Executive Branch

It's been a middling term marred by resignations and plagued by inactivity.
Which FM?
Dax is is doing a nice job but could do better

Receiving a still low, but slightly more impressive 41.2 percent total approval rating, the citizenry still seem largely unsure and dissatisfied with the current Cabinet and First Minister; and while this may still be some leftover dissatisfaction from the previous uncertainty surrounding new leadership, the First Minister and Cabinet will need to work hard lift public opinion before the end of term.
At least we still have the same COS. Where's the GA though?
Pichto is doing great

Domestic Approval - First Minister & Cabinet
First Minister
The one substantial issue that Dax has faced, the GraV/R&D issue, has been a disaster. A real failure of leadership to let that situation fester until GraV lost his citizenship and thus his job.
DAX has just taken the reigns. Happy so far, but want to see more before saying "very satisfied."
She hasn't had much time, but she's good.

Newly appointed First Minister Dax received a decent 70.6 overall approval rating, giving the impression that respondents seem to be overall happy to see Dax taking on our domestic leadership. With responses somewhat suggesting that due to Dax's recency to the first minister role a higher rating is still yet to be decided; Dax will need to continue to impress in the role, particularly with comments from one response noting, "want to see more before saying "very satisfied."".
Getting out when he knew his heart wasn’t in it was a good move and merits approval.
Sopo's heart wasn't into the First Minister role and it showed. Granted, he got thrust in the position so he can be graded on a curve. Still, glad he made the decision to step down.
Sopo = good sloth

Sopo achieved a fairly mixed response from poll takers for his work as first minister, and it seemed to be looked upon favorably that he stepped down from the role; earning himself an overall 35.3 percent satisfaction rating. Although there is mixed dissatisfaction (29.4 percent overall unsatisfied) and uncertainty (35.3 percent unsure/don't know ratings) regarding Sopo, comments seem to remain positive about his ability to perform at a higher level, and the decisions he made in a tumultuous time were almost predictable given comments such as, "Sopo's heart wasn't into the First Minister role and it showed."
Second Minister
Still pretty early - Ist is doing a good job in comms though
I like it

Wasn't she there for like a week?
Ministry of Communications
[
Istillian's approval ratings stand in sharp contrast to voters' assessment of Xecrio's time as Communications Minister. Only 23.5 percent were satisfied with Xecrio's performance, with not a single respondent "very satisfied". Many said that they were unsure of how to judge Xecrio's performance. This is not necessarily surprising, given Xecrio's resignation.
Not enough staff I know
RIP Xecrio

Ministry of Interior
I miss Sopo, panda still good though
Calvin Coolidge has enjoyed high approval as Minister of Interior, garnering just over 75 percent approval. Only one respondent indicated any form of disapproval for Calvin, and 17.6 percent were unsure of how to feel. A few more people were unsure about the Ministry's work as a whole compared to Calvin's, which may be a result of little info coming out of the Ministry aside from weekly recruitment reports. The Ministry recently underwent turnover after the inclusion of Research and Development in its duties, so it remains to be seen what could come out of that.
Ministry of Culture
Overall I've been really surprised at how much energy OD has brought to culture - he's a fantastic fit as minister
I want more weekend games

LOL
I have no earthly idea what is going on here...an article brought to the administration's attention to the fact nothing has been done, the Minister replied with nothing helpful, and now nothing has continued to be done. We need clarification, or some kind of physical presence from the Minister pronto or this Ministry needs to be dissolved and the MIA Minister fired.
Get rid of it!
I don't really have a response here. After GraV had time off, I feel that I'm still waiting for things to start. I'm still hopeful he can pull off some activity before the end of the term, and get the ministry off its feet
....
Is he still alive? Is this ministry still alive? I'd really love to know

Ministry of Radio
Cuddles has been doing an OK job, he definitely vanished for a minute there? But idk who could do the job better and we've had a steady stream of shows.
It's picked up a bit lately, but nothing happened for most of the first half of the term

External Executive - Chief of State & Council of State
Written by Istillian:
Chief of State
Pichto has been a little quiet, but I know he's had a LOA. I would like to hear more about the plan for the Navy, which hasn't had a Grand Admiral for quite some time.
He's been doing fine

Chief of State Pichtonia has achieved an admirable 70.6 percent overall satisfaction rating. Given Pichtonia's recent leave of absence it would arguably be hard to earn high satisfaction ratings in this role; however, with only a 23.5 percent unsure/don't know rating, and a recent downturn in activity across the region, the public seem to have faith in Pichtonia's leadership abilities. So while Pichtonia is reported to have, to quote the commentary, "been doing fine", the approval here seems to suggest a higher than average overall satisfaction.
Vice Chief of State
Not sure what Aex has done as Vice CoS
I forgot he was
I forgot he was
Vice Chief of State Aexnidaral has underwhelmingly achieved a much lower overall satisfaction rating of 23.5 percent. The commentary seems to suggest that he has not been very visible in the public eye and, although this role has an external focus in foreign affairs, it seems that with a 41.2 percent unsure/don't know rating, people aren't aware of the work Aexnidaral may or may not be doing in the role.
Council of World Assembly Affairs
I feel like I haven't heard much from Izzy? Would love to know more about what's going on.
Izzy has been doing excellently as a leader in this field - I love seeing how much has been done in this council, and the opportunities for training and development that have been given to staff have been great.
They're putting out regular IFV's. It's just a shame the WA is so boring and nobody really cares about it...

Councilor of World Assembly Affairs Izzy has achieved a solid 70.6 percent overall satisfaction rating. While there were 23.5 percent of respondents selecting unsure/don't know, it seems that Izzy has done agreeably well in the role - even being deemed a "leader" by one respondent.
The Council of World Assembly Affairs achieved a significantly lower overall satisfaction rating than its Councilor, receiving an overall 53 percent satisfaction rating. So while Izzy seems to have impressed the public, it is clear that, with comments such as, "Would love to know more about what's going on", more visible outcomes are something that people desire.
Council of Foreign Affairs
Not sure what's going on in Foreign Affairs? Would love to hear more updates here.
I haven't seen anything happening outwardly, so I hope it's busy internally.

Councilor of Foreign Affairs Aexnidaral has achieved a largely mixed response, with a low overall satisfaction rating of 29.4 percent. The main issue here seems to be along a similar trend with Aexnidaral's commentary as Vice Chief of State, visibility and information is lacking, and it is clear people want to hear more from Aexnidaral in this role. The Council itself is sitting marginally higher in its overall satisfaction at 35.3 percent; respondents report, "I haven't seen anything happening outwardly" - those taking the poll seem to be hoping that there is more activity provided to the public from the Council before the end of term.
Council of External Engagement
While I don’t think this job is necessary, she has done a good job.
Have more updates gone out on our gameplay embassy? Are The Watchers still around?
Kura has done a great job reestablishing the dispatch squad, but it feels like this could easily be rolled back into MoFA in the future.
I don't know what this is.

Councilor of External Engagement Kuramia has achieved a moderate 52.9 percent overall satisfaction rating, with many respondents indicating an unsure/don't know answer. It seems that while Kuramia is perceived as doing well as Councilor, with things like reestablishing the upvote squad, many are uncertain about what her role includes. The Council of External Engagment gained a slightly lower overall satisfaction rating of 41.1 percent, with one respondent advising, "this could easily be rolled back into MoFA in the future", suggesting some dissatisfaction with the structure of the Council itself.
Europeian Republican Navy
What is going on here? What's the plan?

*This poll may reflect some margin of error. For the first two days of the poll being released, it was left open for the potential for multiple responses. When notified of the issue the poll creator edited the poll to only allow singular responses. Due to the low response rate initially, and a review of the data, this poll does not seem to have been affected; however it is reported for transparency and reader discretion.
