General disapproval of Bulgarians towards the ruling coalition and suspicion of shady deals for political posts were recorded in a survey by the Alpha Research agency, commissioned by BNT for the programme "Referendum". But early elections are not on the agenda, the poll data show.

58.2% of respondents have a more or less negative opinion of the ruling coalition. 35% of Bulgarians have fairly positive attitude towards the government. 

More than 2/3 of the people in the survey believe that the tensions in the coalition are the result of shady deals for political posts. 45% of the respondents expect the contradictions to be ironed out, while one-third believe they will lead to the break-up of the coalition.
