Georgia, Tbilisi, April 23 /Trend, N.Kirtskhalia/
Georgian people's trust in politicians has much reduced. It was showed by a survey conducted by Barometer 2009 organization with the financial support of Open Society - Georgia.
The survey was conducted from November 30 to December 14, 2009 in all regions of Georgia, as well as in Adjara and Tbilisi. In general, 1,100 respondents were questioned. According to the survey, the majority of respondents questioned - 38.4 percent - do not trust in any political force, 35.8 percent trust in the authorities, 17.4 percent trust in the opposition.
Most supporters of the government are people aged 25-44, but the opposition - 45-64. Among the politicians mostly enjoying trust is President Mikhail Saakashvili (46.5 percent), followed by one of the leaders of the Alliance of Georgia and former ombudsman Sozar Subari (42.9 percent), the leader of the Christian Democrats George Targamadze (39.7 percent), Labor Party leader Shalva Natelashvili (38,0 percent) and Irakli Alasania (37.9 percent).
"The survey showed that nihilism prevails in the society. Most people do not trust practically in any force. There is a high degree of mistrust in government agencies as well. The people mostly trust in the Georgian Orthodox Church," said the survey director Nana Sumbadze.
