President Writinglegend Flying High, Cruising to Re-Election
Most ministries receive high marks, except Interior, World Assembly, and the Government Accountability Office
Written by Maowi, JayDee, PhDre, and Seva
According to the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) end-of-term Executive Poll, President Writinglegend has an approval rating unprecedented in the post-Executive split era. With three days to go until the election, over 80% would choose to re-elect Writinglegend over his challenger, Monkey. That, combined with the high level of satisfaction with the field of candidates, suggests that President Writinglegend is a strong favorite for re-election.
Cabinet approval stand-outs include Minister of Communications PhDre and Grand Admiral Kuramia, both of whom register approval ratings over 90%. The administration does have its weak points, with low approval in Interior, World Assembly Affairs, and the Government Accountability Office, but those low approvals do not seem to detract from overall strong satisfaction with the executive government and direction of the region.
This poll was conducted between June 17th and June 20th. 31 individuals responded to the EBC poll.
Overall Satisfaction: 87.1% Satisfied
The Writinglegend administration has earned the confidence of the region by a convincing margin. Only one respondent answered with Dissatisfied and two were Neutral, the rest were a mix of Satisfied and Very Satisfied respondents who feel that this term has led our region down the right path. The story of these poll results is that Monkey and Calvin will have a very big hurdle to jump if they are to defeat the incumbent. Despite a few Ministers receiving harsh reviews, the region remains confident in the executive and has given President Writinglegend and his administration a solid thumbs-up.
Is Europeia on the Right Track? 87.1% YES
There is little surprise to be found in these results after the numbers pulled by the Executive as a whole. No person who took the poll indicated that the feel the region is on the wrong track, without only a few unsure of where they stand. This will come as a relief to Writinglegend, Sopo, and Kuramia for sure, who have had to navigate a difficult and unpredictable landscape this term in the Foreign Affairs and Naval Office. A series of bitter blows has left our bench of allies shrinking, but the region remains confident in the leadership of this region that we are on the right track.
President Writinglegend: 96.8% Satisfied
Writinglegend ends the term with the highest satisfaction rating in the post-Executive remerge era. No respondents noted dissatisfaction with the term, and the majority of respondents were "Very Satisfied." Writinglegend looks to return to the Goldenblock on the back of this stellar poll response.
good job and keep it up!
Definitely seemed to tail off toward the end of the term by the big move metric, but generally doing alright. I appreciated his detailed updates on exec activities.
WritingLegend is taking Europeia on the right track for our foreign affairs vision, there's no doubt about that. I do worry that he may have forgotten about things domestically a little - but I do feel that the overarching management he's had has been very strong.

Vice President Sincluda: 67.8% Satisfied
Vice President Sincluda sees softer support than Writinglegend, with almost half of respondents reporting they were "Satisfied" with Sincluda's term. Multiple comments pointed to perceived inactivity in the second half of the term, which is often challenging to overcome for the Vice President. With Sincluda stepping back from the Writinglegend reflection bid due to real life, perhaps respondents were willing to lower their Vice Presidential ratings.
wasn't that active near the end of term but that is understandable given he's taking a step back now
Sincluda started off great, but then faded into the background.
good job
Has been invisible for the most part.
Sincluda gets a satisfied from me. I know he's there and exists and is doing things - that visibility issue certainly comes as a facet of the job though, and Sincluda has suffered a little from that.

Europeian Republican Navy - Kuramia
ERN satisfaction: 93.5%
Grand Admiral Kuramia satisfaction: 93.5%
The Europeian Republican Navy (ERN) is outdone in satisfaction only by President Writinglegend and the Ministry of Communications, with only two respondents registering a “neutral” opinion of the ERN and its leader’s performance. Regular operation reports have been published in the Octagon (including military training alongside The Grey Wardens and The South Pacific), as well as a solid showing in the Defender Olympics in which Europeia mustered a victorious force of 31 pilers and numerous medals; the ERN is clearly communicating its high activity levels to the wider Europeian public. Kuramia’s “very satisfied” rating of 67.7% - among the highest in this poll - is reflected in the enthusiastic comments.
good job
Kura is amazing in all ways
This term hasn't been as active as last term, although it did pick up again in the latter half. It is slightly disappointing the overwhelming focus defending has received this term, with virtually no raiding taking place. While more defending is required with the changing FA landscape, conducting some tag raids should still occur, especially when sailors are required to conduct tag raids in order to move up the ranks. How can sailors be promoted if the operations required for them to participate in aren't being run?
Once again called her shot, once again cleared the trees in left.
Bloody brilliant job from Kura.

Ministry of Interior - Poseidon63
Ministry satisfaction: 48.4%
Minister Poseidon63 satisfaction: 38.7%
Interior’s performance is hampered by very high “neutral” ratings, especially for Minister Poseidon, who fares slightly worse than his ministry after taking over from Sanjurika around midterm. Poseidon has kept to the pledges he expressed in his midterm address, running a recruitment bingo to incentivise staffers, having a variety of daily prompts posted on the Regional Message Board, and welcoming new nations to the region. Despite this, public opinion on the ministry has fallen during the second half of term, whether the issue is communication from the minister, the effectiveness of these efforts, or simply the natural ebb and flow of ministry activity.
It's not enough.
good job
Feels like we've been struggling more than last term in most areas.
High hopes that were dashed

Ministry of Communications - PhDre
Ministry satisfaction: 96.8%
Minister PhDre satisfaction: 96.8%
Communications sees almost faultless ratings this end of term, with the ministry and the minister both missing out on 100% satisfaction by a single “dissatisfied” response. The Europeian Broadcasting Corporation published twelve articles in the second half of the term, including a raft of foreign interviews as part of the executive’s Foreign Affairs Media Week. The comments section is overwhelmingly positive; the main cause for pause seems to be doubts about the sustainability of the pace set by Minister PhDre in the long term, which may explain the greater proportion of “very satisfied” responses received by PhDre in comparison to his ministry. Regardless, these ratings represent a significant improvement on the ministry’s already impressive midterm poll results.
A lot of good content being put out!
good job
PhDre has been doing the most and we love to see it
Very active! Fantastic work all-round!
FA Media week was fine, but one feels that things may be getting a *touch* stagnant.
Wonder how long Dre can keep up this pace
PhDre has done amazing things - I do worry this coming term we'll see staffing difficulties if he doesn't take on the role again, but the EBC has been doing impeccably.

Ministry of World Assembly Affairs - Gem
Ministry Satisfaction: 32.3%
Minister Satisfaction: 13%
The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs struggles, as does its beleaguered Minister Gem. Multiple commentators are concerned by significant staffing issues within the Ministry, and Gem is perceived as less active and engaged than respondents would like. As a whole, the Ministry lags behind, and coupled with respondent desire to see change at the Minister level, expect the winner of the Presidential election to shake things up in the MoWAA.
Gem hasn't done a bad job. I earnestly believe they should be given another chance at the position but desperately needs better supporting staff.
Gem was awfully absent throughout basically the whole term and left all of his work to his deputy(ies). Who weren't perfect either but got better since the middle of the term.
Gem hasn't been there for the ministry. It seems like Seva needed to take over everything and now there are only about three or four active staffers.
good job mate
Where did the activity go? The engagement? The posting of recommendations to the NS forums????
Gem is thoughtful and capable of quality work, but his inactivity and subsequent lack of leadership has come at a cost to the performance of the ministry. There have been missed IFVs, votes where the delegate hasn't voted, and times where the resident populace has voted against IVF recommendations due to the lateness of their release.
Gem hasn't been active as Minister and should have been replaced long ago.
My only comment is going to be to say no comment. Perhaps I’m not paying attention, but Gem has been pretty much a non-entity in terms of leadership.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Sopo
Ministry Satisfaction: 80.6%
Minister Satisfaction: 83.9%
Despite memes depicting Sopo as the mastermind behind treaty repeals, the Europeian public appears satisfied with his handling of Foreign Affairs. Both the Ministry and Sopo appear equally popular, with Europeians divided between "Satisfied" and "Very Satisfied" camps. Foreign affairs appears to be a key element of both Presidential campaigns, and multiple comments point to Sopo's work setting up either ticket for success in this area.
Sopo has been quiet but I think that's fine for a MoFA. There's been lots of asinine complaints about treaty repeals and crafting them too frequently but it's a load of horseshit.
Where's Sopo?
A lot of work has been done on the FA scene, and Sopo was also quite good, even though Gleg might have carried the ministry a bit more than he did
good job mate
Happy with the steps we’re taking to return to relevance and make new allies who respect our allies more than BoM.
Doing fine at his job, but I wish he were more visible.
Even with his LoA's, Sopo has managed to do a great job navigating a difficult FA landscape. Loved his work.

Ministry of Culture - Sarah
Ministry Satisfaction: 80.7%
Minister Satisfaction: 87.1%
Minister of Culture Sarah has moderately improved her approval rating while the ministry has remained at the same level, perhaps reflecting that her involvement in the ministry improved relative to the staff. One comment does reflect dissatisfaction with the perceived recent last-minute organisation of events but the rest praise Sarah for her performance as Minister of Culture.
Sarah has done an extremely good job.
pretty good, though not particularly inspiring
good job mate
Overall the Ministry has been successful, however given that the Minister herself placed a very big emphasis on organising and advertising events well in advance, it's slightly disappointing that a lot of the recent planning has been forgotten about and then suddenly poked at the last minute just before the event is due to start.
Another strong performance

Ministry of Radio - Icarus
Ministry Satisfaction: 80.7%
Minister Satisfaction: 67.8%
Radio receives strong marks, with Europeians broadly satisfied with the Spotify transition and variety of shows. Commenters were impressed with Radio's ability to train and transition to a new platform in a single term, though others were apprehensive about how accessible radio hosting and being a guest is, given the small number of Ministry staff. Staffing shortages across Europeia and training materials will hopefully render this concern moot, but Europeians are looking for diverse and high quality radio shows. The current offerings were enough to boost the Ministry of Radio in this poll.
lots of shows of good quality, smooth transition, what more is there to ask?
good job mate
Radio transition has been amazing!!
Radio use to be a very open and accessible Ministry with anyone able to get involved in a show, and staff asked who'd be interested in coming on board days in advance. Under Icarus, radio has increasingly felt like a small club where certain people are in the club and others aren't, and if you aren't in the club you won't be on many if any shows. Shows have been planned without staff asked if they'd like to join, and even when staff are asked often it's the case that certain staff are given clear priority to join and others who show interest are ignored. The move to Spotify has only made this worse.
I like that Ica has helped radio vary its content this term and shifted more to content meant for entertainment than strictly politics type stuff.
ICARUS IS THE BEST!!! WELL DONE THIS TERM YOU AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE PENGUIN!

Attorney General SkyGreen - 51.7% Satisfied (45.2% Neutral)
Respondents often have trouble judging the Attorney General, and SkyGreen is not an exception. Almost half of respondents have a neutral perspective. The rest are decidedly positive, perhaps due to SkyGreen's use of humor in the role. Gaining the approval of over half of respondents in a backseat role is no small feat.
I like that he brought some humour to the role, also he did publish some LAs
good job mate
Hoping he unmasks the key figure behind the JortCoin thefts tbh.
I think I did good

GAO Director GrandfatherClock - 19.4% Satisfied (54.8% Neutral)
Most Europeians had little sense of what to do when evaluating the GAO Director, who joined the Administration halfway through the term after Monkey's resignation. Both Presidential campaigns have promised to reincorporate the work of the GAO into the various Ministries, which appears to be a smart political decision.
laughing_crying_emoji
Why did we bring the GAO back? We knew last term it was a failure.
unfortunately the work is still very much invisible but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
I wish we could've gotten more out of this position, but we'll see what we learn.
good job mate
honestly not sure what he's been up to
“I have no strong opinions either way.”

Ministers to Return
Just like in the midterm poll, there are multiple tiers into which ministers are divided depending on how many people want them to return. In the first tier, PhDre leads the pack, closely followed by Kuramia and Sarah, the three being the most popular ministers in the current poll and in the midterm one. Sopo and Icarus are in the second tier, perhaps still punished by poll-takers for taking leaves of absence in the first half of the term. In the third tier, SkyGreen and GrandfatherClock seem to suffer from the general invisibility of their respective positions, and Poseidon has not impressed since becoming Minister of Interior. Gem only has the support of two poll-takers to return, reflecting his approval rating and suggesting that it would be a surprise to see him return to Cabinet next term.

Voting Intention In The Election
Incumbent Writinglegend seems poised to win reelection, with a sizable head to head advantage. President Writinglegend also probably does not have to fear that his advantage will attract a third candidate due to the high level of satisfaction with the current Presidential field. Monkey is running a professional campaign but appears to need a significant change in fortune as Election Day approaches.
Satisfaction with Presidential Field
Europeians are broadly satisfied with the Presidential field. Satisfaction with the candidates suggests that a third party run is perhaps untenable at this stage in the race. Writinglegend's strong support and high approval ratings make it hard to differentiate between satisfaction with the Presidential Field and a broad base of support for the President.
