53% think the country is heading towards the wrong direction

The findings also show how 39% of voters now think the country is headed in the right direction, up from 36% last year.

Out of the 53% who think the country is going the wrong way, 47% point to economic problems, while others are pointing fingers at political instability (7%) or bad administration (8%).

While dissatisfaction with Putrajaya is at 47%, mainly due to ongoing concerns about the cost of living and worries about upcoming subsidy cuts.
