The survey also found that 69 percent of Jordanians are not
optimistic about the government's performance.
Satisfaction LevelsAlthough the majority of Jordanians are satisfied with the
level of security in the country, with 78 percent expressing satisfaction with
the security in their areas and 63 percent with the security situation overall,
other areas of concern were identified.
Only 46 percent of those surveyed expressed satisfaction
with the level of health services provided, and 39 percent with their standard
of living.
Furthermore, 71 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with
the state of infrastructure, streets, and transportation, while 83 percent were
unhappy with the government's role in controlling prices during Ramadan.
