A new opinion poll released by the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) found that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's approval rating has hit a new low. The LSI found that 70 percent of respondents said they were dissatisfied with Yudhoyono's performance. 'The majority of these people perceived the President as being indecisive. On many occasions he did not appear to be upholding the Constitution,' LSI researcher Ardian Sopa said.

Your comments:

Of course the ratings are low, as you posed the questions only to members of the opposition parties. The rating would be extremely high if you posed the questions to President SBY's proponents. In other words, the results of your polling, any polling for that matter, could definitely be engineered.

There are different methods of carrying out surveys that are all aimed at minimizing bias. For an institution like LSI, it is unlikely that they ignore this.
