A study by Edison Research reveals that 63% of the population of Georgia believe the country is developing in the wrong direction, while 37% think it is developing in the right direction.

At the same time, the proportion of those who believe the country is developing in the wrong direction has increased: 57% in December, 59% in April, and 63% in July.

The highest rate of this sentiment is found in the 25-34 age group, at 72%, followed closely by the 18-24 age group at 71%. It is worth noting that in all age groups, the number of individuals who think the country is developing in the wrong direction is predominant.

Compared to previous studies, there has been an increase in the number of people who believe that Georgia should be governed by another party. Only 29% think that Georgian Dream deserves to be re-elected.
