In 3 months, the positive assessment of the president's work has dropped by 7% from 43 to 36 percent. 51% are dissatisfied with the Bulgarian head of state, according to a study by the Research Center "Trend" commissioned by the "24 Chasa" daily. 

Only 11% have a positive assessment of the parliament, distrust in the institution is 80 percent.

42% of the respondents approve the formation of a compromise government "because it is better to have a regular cabinet". 37% believe that "the parties made unprincipled compromises and it would have been better to have new elections".
