Polling on Chief Executive
Survey questions On approval percentage: HKPORI and its predecessor HKUPOP: "If a general election of the Chief Executive were to be held tomorrow, and you had the right to vote, would you vote for Carrie Lam?" HKIAPS: "Carrie Lam is already elected as the new Chief Executive, to what extent do you support her as a Chief Executive? Is it 'Do not support', 'in-between', or 'support'?" On support rating: HKPORI and its predecessor HKUPOP: "Please use a scale of 0-100 to rate your extent of support to the Chief Executive (or Chief Executive-elect) Carrie Lam, with 0 indicating absolutely not supportive, 100 indicating absolutely supportive and 50 indicating half-half. How would you rate the Chief Executive (or Chief Executive-elect) Carrie Lam?" HKIAPS: "In general, with 0 indicating lowest mark, 100 indicating highest mark, 50 indicating passing mark, how would you rate the Chief Executive (or Chief Executive-elect) Carrie Lam on her overall performance?"
