The Cabinet under the leadership of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo might be proud of the growing public appreciation toward the government's performance in solving various national problems. According to the most recent results of Kompas' periodic survey, public satisfaction was expressed in almost three-quarters of the respondents. To be precise, seven out of 10 respondents who were asked for their assessment stated they were "satisfied" with the government's performance.

The appreciative respondents far outnumber those still dissatisfied with the government's performance. At least 29.9 percent of the respondents selected "not satisfied". However, the level of appreciation in this survey is even more remarkable given that it is at its highest since October 2022.
