KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 Datuk Seri Najib Razaks approval ratings are now at 59 per cent, the lowest point since last May, fuelled by rising concerns over the surge in living costs and his governments handling of the tumultuous July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally, a new poll released today showed.

Local pollster Merdeka Center reported the results in its latest survey conducted between August 11 and 27, revealing that the Najib (picture) brand took a severe beating in public perception following several significant events that rocked the nation, including the Bersih rally, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims Sodomy II trial, the ongoing amnesty programme for illegals, the recent raid on a church in Selangor and allegations of Christians proselytising to Muslims in the country.

Of the 1,027 respondents polled, 59 per cent said they were satisfied with the prime ministers performance, down a significant 13 per cent from 72 per cent in May 2010.

Since hitting a record high last year, Najibs ratings have been on a consecutive decline; from 72 per cent in May 2010 to 69 per cent in November 2010, 67 per cent in March this year and 65 per cent in May.

When Najib first took over the countrys reins in April 2009, his administrations ratings improved quickly on his predecessor Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawis flailing legacy from a bleak 34 per cent in March 2009, soaring by 31 per cent to 65 per cent within just three months.
