General disapproval of Bulgarians towards the ruling coalition and suspicion of shady deals for political posts were recorded in a survey by the Alpha Research agency, commissioned by BNT for the programme "Referendum". But early elections are not on the agenda, the poll data show.
58.2% of respondents have a more or less negative opinion of the ruling coalition. 35% of Bulgarians have fairly positive attitude towards the government.
