According to a survey by Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas), a majority or 51.3% of respondents agreed with the notion that the government is more focused on the development of the new capital city (IKN) than on the economic conditions of the people.

47.1% of other respondents disagreed with this notion, and 1.6% answered "don't know".

"This means that more than half of the respondents feel that the government's direction is not sufficiently focused on domestic issues affecting the people," said Kompas Research and Development researcher Arita Nugrahaeni, as reported by *Kompas.id* on Tuesday (26/4/2022).

This survey also found that 42.3% of respondents considered the government more focused on elite political issues than on the economic conditions of the people.

Furthermore, 40.7% of respondents considered the government more focused on the discourse of a three-term presidency than on the economic conditions of the people.

"This means that four out of ten respondents believe the government is paying excessive attention to political issues while the public is anxious about household economic problems," said Arita.

This survey was conducted from April 5-9, 2022, using an interview method. The survey involved 504 respondents aged 17 and above from 34 provinces.

The survey's confidence level reached 95% with a margin of error of approximately 4.37% under simple random sampling conditions.
