Jokowi’s rating hits six-year low as prices rise

Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s (pic) approval rating has hit a six-year low amid dissatisfaction over soaring cooking oil prices and the perceived failure of an export ban to swiftly reduce the rising cost of goods, a new poll showed.

Figures released by pollster Indikator Politik Indonesia showed that satisfaction with the nation’s president, widely known by as Jokowi, fell to 58.1% this month.
