Bulgarians continue to dislike current power and demand changes, but do require early elections. The protests are generally supported, although there is no certainty that they would succeed, according to the latest Gallup International poll.

59% of respondents support the protests in the country. 34 percent do not support them. The data also reflect the usual attitude towards the government, but also suggest that the protest potential is high, Gallup analysts commented. 58% believe that the protests will not fulfill any of their goals. 25 percent expect the resignation of the Prime Minister and the Prosecutor General. 54 percent do not want early elections, while 42% want early elections held, BTA reported.
