The latest survey by Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO), conducted in May 2025, reveals that President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian Military (TNI) remain the most trusted institutions in the country − reflecting a continuing trend in public confidence and little change compared to previous periods.
“Public trust in both state and civil institutions has remained relatively stable. The President and TNI continue to top the list as the most trusted public institutions,” IPO Executive Director, Dedi Kurnia Syah, said in a statement as quoted on Sunday, June 1, 2025.
According to the survey, the President received the highest trust rating at 97.5 percent, followed by the TNI at 92.8 percent, and the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) at 86.3 percent. Other institutions with strong public trust include the Attorney General’s Office (76 percent), the Constitutional Court (74.3 percent), the State Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) at 70.5 percent, and the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) at 65 percent.
Meanwhile, institutions with the lowest levels of trust were:
● Political parties (43 percent);

The survey also recorded a high level of public satisfaction with President Prabowo’s performance, with 81 percent of respondents expressing positive views. Specifically, 13 percent said they were “very satisfied,” 46 percent “satisfied,” and 22 percent “somewhat satisfied.” On the other hand, 15 percent expressed dissatisfaction, while 4 percent said they were “very dissatisfied.”
