From July 11 to August 12 of this year, the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan conducted a large-scale public opinion survey. The sample size amounted to 8,000 respondents. The survey included citizens over the age of 18 from 17 regions as well as the cities of national significance — Astana, Almaty, and Shymkent.
According to the sociological data, respondents demonstrate a high level of public trust in the institution of the presidency.
The Head of State consistently holds a leading position in the ranking – 82.4% of citizens trust President Tokayev.
Trust in the Head of State is highest among young people aged 18–29 (90.3%). They are followed by age groups 30–45 (82.4%), 46–60 (78.6%), and 61+ (77.8%). Rural residents show slightly higher trust in the President compared to urban residents (84.9% and 80.9%, respectively). At the same time, the level of trust remains virtually the same among respondents with different income levels and employment statuses.
The analysis of the collected data also demonstrates that the highest levels of trust in the Head of State are expressed by employees in the education sector (89.6%) and healthcare (84.5%), civil servants (87.1%), law enforcement officers (96.9%), representatives of the agricultural sector (86.2%), science (85.7%), as well as culture and the arts (85.9%).
Thus, the results of the sociological survey confirm the consistently high level of public trust in the Head of State, which highlights the effectiveness of the state policy in the eyes of citizens.
