Pollster: Armenian prime minister’s ratings slipped

Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan’s ratings have fallen within this year. According to head of the Armenian office of the Gallup International Aram Navasardyan, the previous “turn-on” in the public caused by Karapetyan’s appointment has been slipping, as the outcomes of a poll conducted on Nov 10-22 have shown.

According to Navasardyan, in the end of last year, Karapetyan’s activities were positively assessed by 85% of the respondents, and it was quite a high figure. But in July it fell to 71.6%.

“Today, activities of Karapetyan as prime minister are supported by as low as 57.3%. Evidently, the figure itself is high, but comparing to last year, the ratings fell by almost 30%,” the sociologist noted.
