INSCOP Survey: 6 out of 10 Romanians believe that things in Romania are heading in the wrong direction

July 31, 2025

The number of Romanians who believe the current government will steer the country in the wrong direction is 17 percentage points higher than those satisfied with Prime Minister Bolojan’s cabinet, according to an INSCOP survey.   A total of 53.4% of respondents say the new government will lead Romania in the wrong direction, while 36.6% remain optimistic. Those who think the country is headed in a good direction are typically PNL and USR voters, people under 30, public sector employees, and residents of Bucharest or other large cities. The pessimistic respondents are mainly AUR voters, individuals with primary education, and residents of smaller towns and rural areas.   The INSCOP poll was conducted between June 20–26, 2025, using the CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) method. The sample size was 1,150 people aged 18 and older. The maximum margin of error is ±2.9%, with a confidence level of 95%.   According to the survey, those who believe the new ministers and prime minister will take the country in the wrong direction are often AUR voters, live in rural areas, and are TikTok users.   Conversely, those who support the new government are typically PNL and USR voters, have higher education, and live in large cities.   The percentage of Romanians who think the country is going in the wrong direction remains high—61%. Meanwhile, 30.9% are more optimistic, and 8.1% of respondents either did not know or did not answer.
