Executive Poll Shows Trust in Ambitious Vision
By Punchwood and Le Libertie
With the midpoint of the presidential term reached, the Europeian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) conducted a poll from May 14 to May 15. A total of 29 respondents gave their opinions regarding the state of the region, their approval of their executive officials, and a glimpse of potential candidates for the next presidential election.
Overall Executive Approval:
Average: 75.7%*
Discord moderation needs to be improved; quality over quantity.
Not sure this term will be remembered for anything but they're fine overall

*Under the Malashaan executive, the approval rating was calculated to a percentage by assigning ‘highly approve’ a value of 10, ‘somewhat approve’ a value of 8, and so on. Overall Executive rating was attained by averaging the ratings of all of the officials.
President HEM:
Average: 81.7%
Better than average but nothing truly outstanding that'd warrant a 7+ rating
A solid enough performance. Should have removed things like the 2 Ministries rule when it was clear it was not working. I'm sure if you were to look at campaign promises he probably under delivered slightly but overall still a good enough term.
HEM has tried a lot of things this past term to boost activity. I think some things like the larger senate, were at least marginally successful. Other things like the junior minister program have been in my view a failure and may have decreased activity in the region. That’s why I give him a 5.
HEM has done a fantastic job as President.

Vice President Sopo:
Average: 83.1%
Sopo looked like a very positive influence this term and was an unusually active VP
Not as active as some have made him out to be, but overall a good term especially for a VP.
Solo seems to fall under the plague of most vps.
Sopo has been a highly visible and invested Vice President.
Good stuff. Guiding voice. Leading from the top.

Didn't hear any bad news
Had a bit of a slowdown recently but seemed active enough before that.
I give a 6 because I haven’t been paying much attention this term.
Good.

He tried well enough
Can't say he's really done much. The Handbook seemed to have been rushed at the end by himself and not much else happening in terms of Integration. Recruitment is better but I'm not sure how much of that increase is due to him.
He’s certainly been trying hard to keep things going and while the response hasn’t been amazing I think the effort is what counts.
Prim's been working incredibly hard in Interior, even if it doesn't show outwardly, I think he needs to be given props.

There's still a lot to be done but she looks to know that and steer towards the right direction
Has turned the ship in the right direction and has been getting articles out on a very good turnover. She's also made good deputy appointments.
She’s been trying as well. Because of the infernal 2 ministry limit it is hard to determine this but her articles have been well written and excellent.
Kuramia's done a great job since taking over.

No blunders
Does anyone pay attention to this Ministry? Seems to be working fine and no catastrophe has happened so that's good.
Not enough info
Ervald has outperformed expectations for him, he's done a great job.

Nothing bad but I can't say whether he is active and I feel like he should be more visible
Pretty good. He's used his Deputies very well and has been allowing them to gain leadership experience.
Not enough info
Aex has done a good job as mofa. I am sure some people will claim there needs to be more "done in the ministry" but given that we've managed to largely avoid any international incidents and we haven't rocked the boat much I'm satisfied. He's outperformed my expectations.
Weakest member of a strong cabinet.

Disappointing, I would give him even less points if he wasn't a replacement
Has done some things very well, others however less well leading to an above average performance but only just.
He’s trying it seems
UV hasn't done bad, but he also hasn't done good.
Tries hard. Still need polish but definitely a positive.

He's trying hard. Commendable effort.
Pretty disappointing but there has been an uptick lately
The social shows have been good fun but it would have been nice to have some more serious/political shows. Calvin's been good in the past at creating political shows so it was a shame not to see any this term bar a Senate discussion.
Also trying.
Radio has been great this term. I hope Calvin is able to get back in the game and reinvest when he is back home and settled. If anyone knocks some points off of Calvin for not being active and taking care of his grandmother shame on them.
Always awesome

The Attorney General isn't usually all that visible but what he did seemed fairly fine
Never heard of him
Difficult to rate the performance of an AG. Not sure if he's been the most active so far.
A surprising amount of activity
kraken has done an adequate job. I dont think that the AG needs to do the busywork legislative recommendations.
Who is he?

His own initiatives are alright but maybe he could get some of his Cabinet friends working more (see: Culture and Radio)
This is very much a behind the scenes job so very difficult to rate. Jugging by the reports he's keeping up to date with each Minister but is he helping them reach their goals?
He’s doing his job I suppose
Good whip.

The archive is nice but I don't feel like he holds the government accountable
The job title is misleading as that is certainly not what he does. What he is doing seems reasonable enough and he's doing at good job at it, however I'm not sure if it requires an entire Ministry. This seems like the kind of work you would delegate to a VP or CoS.
Eh not really proving this is necessary with the output.
the shelf thing is really interesting
Is this a real office?

Would you re-elect President HEM and Vice President Sopo?
Yes: 18No: 5
Don't Know: 6
This is a very encouraging figure for President HEM even if he choses not to run for re-election as it helps to confirm his high approval rating. Should HEM seek re-election then he will be glad to know that an overwhelming majority at 62.1% would re-elect him no questions asked. He will also be glad to know that the "Don't Know" figure is higher than the "No" figure as it shows there is a small group who truly disapprove of him and he has an opportunity to win over more voters. This is a worrying figure for any who wish to challenge HEM as there is a small minority who are firmly set against voting for HEM and the "Don't Know" figure is too small to swing an election. Anyone wishing to challenge HEM will have a tough break with them having to secure all the "No" voters, win over all or most of the "Don't Know" voters and convince some "Yes" voters to abandon HEM.
Who would you like to see run in the upcoming Presidential election?

Europeian's have a number of people they would like to see seek the Presidency but crucially there is no overwhelming frontrunner. Current Minister of Communications Kuramia comes out on top with five mentions. Her high approval rating and previous experience could be reasons why. Newcomer Comrade Prim also comes out very high with four mentions. Many have been impressive by Prim's work even before he entered the Cabinet and work within the Cabinet and now Senate will no doubt improve his chances. After that Vice President Sopo and GAO Director Writinglegend follow with three mentions each. Sopo's high approval rating will have helped him and Writinglegend's work ethic and previous terms as President may be the main contributing factor to his mentions. Minister of World Assembly Affairs Ervald and Senator Izzy are mentioned twice showing that there is an interest in them running. Finally we see a number of people get a single mention, most of whom are currently government officials showing that people may be interested in a competitive election. The main thing to take away from this, is that while there are some favourites, Europeian's don't have a clear idea of who they want as their next President and may want a number of candidates to run. Should HEM not seek re-election then the next election could be very competitive and it could very much be anyone's game.
I would certainly re-elect Sopo, but I'm not too sure on HEM.
If HEM/Sopo don't run then I think this will be a very competitive election with a number of candidates but no clear frontrunner. Even if HEM/Sopo run I think we'll still see at least one other candidate who, if they have a good platform and they and their running mate are good candidates, could produce a competitive election.
You all came too close to electing Festavo
