The negative trend of mass expectations for economy and personal finances seems to be under control, a growth of trust towards institutions is being observed. These are the conclusions of the Gallup International’s latest sociological research, conducted on January 9 – 15. In December last year the regular research of the agency registered slight hope and will for stabilization. In January the conclusion has been confirmed and the government now enjoys public trust of 28%, while 56% don’t trust it. That picture is definitely better than the one before the early parliamentary polls on 5 October 2014, when the level of mistrust had reached 70%. The more like logical effects of the new authority’s stepping into office still prevail, regarding public attitude and not the assessment of its concrete work. The question “Where has Bulgaria headed to?” has its better answer as well – 1/5 of the Bulgarians say the situation has improved, while 2/3 share pessimism. Traditionally, economy perceptions move along with the political ones. The summer and autumn months of 2014 registered a certain growth, regarding the concern about economy and our own money. Some 2/5 of the polled share negative economic expectations in January, while less than 1/3 do not expect any change. Less than 1/5 expects improvement, as far as the economic situation is concerned. Objective economic processes have a slower effect, while current policy affects public opinion more dynamically. The expectations on the personal household wealth remain negative in January too, but to a more moderate degree, compared to the overall economic expectations. The share of those who say “it will all stay the same” has become more visible. When one talks on his own finances, the role of political sympathies in the answers is not that obvious, of course, but the cheering role of the changed authority can be spotted here as well. Typically for the post-poll period, parties in charge continue to enjoy stable support. The ministers in the new cabinet are gradually becoming distinguishable and traditionally mistrust outruns trust.
