The Kompas survey said the public was satisfied with the performance of the government of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin..

Though public satisfaction with the government is on the rise again, there are seven challenges in the domains of law enforcement, the economy and social welfare that must be resolved by policy breakthroughs. In the remaining 20 months of President Jokowi and Vice President Amin's terms of office, these breakthroughs must be prioritized for the administration to leave a lasting legacy for the next government.

An increase in public satisfaction with government performance is enough reason to continue improvements on various fronts. According to Litbang Kompas, the research arm of Kompas daily, in January 2023, 69.3 percent of respondents were satisfied with the Jokowi-Amin administration, an increase of 7.2 percent from the survey in October 2022.
