According to the research, more than two-thirds of the respondents consider corruption to be one of Romania's main problems.
Marcel Ciolacu, Dan Nicușor and Laura Codruța Kovesi are the most popular Romanian politicians and personalities, according to AtlasIntel's survey.
The AtlasIntel survey reveals that no politician has an overwhelmingly positive opinion among Romanians, but there are significant differences in the degree of unpopularity. To the question " Do you have a positive or negative opinion of the following politicians?" , respectively, Marcel Ciolacu (43%), Dan Nicușor (40%) and Laura Codruța Kovesi (36%) received the most positive responses.
The order changes if the proportion of negative opinions is taken into account, as Ciolacu received 49%, Dan Nicușor 41%, and the head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) 38%. The mayor of the capital is therefore in the first place in terms of opinion, with minus 1 percentage point, followed by Kovesi with minus 2 percentage points, and then the prime minister with -6 percentage points, Hotnews quotes the survey .
President Klaus Iohannis is at the opposite pole with -65 percentage points (14 percent of Romanians have a positive opinion of him and 79 percent have a negative opinion), with the highest unfavorable opinion, followed by former USR President Dan Barna (-51%), Member of the European Parliament Diana Șoșoaca ( -48%) and former Prime Minister Ludovic Orban (-47%).

24 percent of those interviewed spoke favorably of Kelemen Hunor, 36 percent could not give an opinion, and 40 percent judged him negatively, thus - with a total of 16 percentage points, he was ahead of Traian Băsescu (-24), George Simion (-29), Cătălin Drulă (- 26), Ludovic Orbant (-47) and is rated much better than the liberal Nicolae Ciucă party leader, who stands at minus 43 percent in the comparison of positive and negative opinions.
The survey also shows that Romanians are not too afraid of war.
As for the main problems affecting Romania, 72.8% of the respondents named corruption, followed by education (29.7%) and the economy (22.8%). In fourth place are external threats with 21.3%, despite the fact that Romania is adjacent to Ukraine and Russia is bombing targets on the Romanian-Ukrainian border. It is noted that each respondent could mark three questions they considered urgent, so the sum of the answers exceeds 100%.
At the same time, Romanians are pessimistic about the current economic situation of Romania and their families, and the pessimism is also reflected in their expected assessment of the next six months.
