Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s approval rating has fallen slightly from the beginning of the year, amid growing unease about the economy in Southeast Asia’s most populous nation.

About 78% of Indonesians interviewed said they were satisfied or very satisfied with Prabowo’s performance since he took office just over a year ago, according to a survey released on Saturday by Indikator Politik. That compared with the 79% satisfaction rate in a poll by the researcher in January.
