Basic findings

The government’s performance, although improving marginally compared to October 2024, do not live up to citizens’ expectations. The parties are on a slide trajectory with limited range and resonance in society. Only ELAM is preserved, which enhances its dynamics and seems to ensure third place with today’s data.

The standard of living of the majority of citizens is shrinking, living expenses, and especially housing and energy are increasing geometrically while middle class income remains stuck.
• Optimism about the future of the country is limited to 27%, nine points above October. And pessimism reaches 73%.
• Pessimism about the economy’s course is 69% (a decrease of 8 points compared to October).
• The deterioration of the standard of living, the course of the economy, the Cyprus issue, the scandals and the uncontrolled entry of irregular migrants are the most important problems facing the country.
