Shrinking confidence amongst South Africans that the government is doing its job well

Only about half of adult South Africans (48%) are of the opinion that the National Government is doing its job well.  This is down 8 percentage points from May 2009, when President Zuma took office.

Over the same period the proportion of adult South Africans who were saying that the country was “going in the right direction” shrunk marginally.
