A recent survey among peninsular Malaysia voters found that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's approval rating has risen to 69 percent, largely due to disbursement of Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) and improving mood over the economy.
Najib's approval rating had been on a steady decline since June 2010, after having achieved a record high of 72 percent and slumping to 59 percent in August 2011.
Support for the prime minister was highest among households with income lower than RM1,500 per month at 78 percent, Indian respondents at 80 percent and Malay respondents at 74 percent.
The survey by independent public opinion survey organisation Merdeka Centre also found that satisfaction with the premier was higher among respondents above 50 years old.
This group clocked over 73 percent as compared to younger respondents, at 64 percent among respondents aged 21 to 30 years old.
