Every Executive Poll Ever
Before anyone gets too excited this is significantly less comprehensive in comparison to it's predecessor for a number of reasons. First, not every administration has had comprehensive executive polling. In fact it seems to have only become a regular effort by private media and the EBC after 2014. Second, even if there was polling huge swaths of content have been lost due to forum transfers and the demise of image hosters. For example the entirety of the catalog of the Europeian Inquirer, Swakistek's outlet and according to HEM's previous effort on Presidential Approval Ratings one of the most consistent pollers in the earlier years of the region, has been lost. All in all I compiled the midterm or end of term polling numbers for 315 ministers of the 732 (43%) Ministers listed in the Every Minister Ever spreadsheet.
Above are the worst polling terms included in the data I was able to collect. Two of them, McEntire and Malashaan were due to a midterm poll being taken right before or right after a resignation which obviously massively drives down approval. The second group are those in positions that are generally hard to evaluate, namely chief of staff. In that second group, the massive slice of no-opinion is what drives the actual approval rating so low.
Going in order of overall popularity we will first look at World Assembly Affairs. Isaris comes in the top of the list with one stellar term in the role. Ervald the 3rd longest serving Minister in this area comes in a strong second place. Aexnidaral, by far the longest serving MoWAA comes in a relatively distant 6th.
For Grand Admiral, HEM comes in first with a universal approval rating during Prim's Chief of State term. Our longest serving GA's, CSP and Krakentopia, again come in around the middle of the pack with above average polling numbers.
For the Ministry of Communications, Siph/Astrellan tops the list alongside a number of other one time ministers including yours's truly. Again, the longest serving minister Lime, ranks in the middle of the pack and in this case below average. It's quite clear over 3 ministries so far that it is very very hard to maintain very high polling numbers over multiple terms.
The Ministry of Culture, is notably led by Lloenflys who is not generally known for excellence in the ministry. A newcomer friendly ministry many first time ministers poll fairly well running the ministry. The rest of the top of the list is filled out by Culture legends, such as Dictator Anna and Writinglegend.
The position of Attorney General is notably effected by the loss of polling prior to 2014 as while it captures most of Drecq's time in the role, many of Malashaan's are missed. Beyond that, Prim managed to acquire a 100% approval rating twice while in the role, which is really stunning.Alright well that about does it for this article. All this data is in the Every Minister Ever spreadsheet for your viewing pleasure. If anyone happens to find polling I was unable to locate definitely let me know and I'll be happy to add it. I do plan on continuing to keep the spreadsheet updated as I have with the initial minister data. I'm sure I'll mine this for more articles in the future. I also will attempt to make a tutorial video for people less familiar with Excel to help navigate all the data. In the meantime feel free to ask me any questions!
