According to Gallup International we are seeing a wearing down of support, customary for any administration, though there are a sufficient number of signs that GERB party has a long-lasting influence.
As is the tradition, parliament has a lower approval rating than the government at the end of the year – 70 percent of respondents have given a negative assessment, as against 22 percent with a positive assessment.
