The GeoPoll Socio-Political Barometer is an initiative to collect rapid, accurate, and robust data on key social and political issues in developing countries. It uses large-scale face-to-face survey research supported by state-of-the-art technology that streamlines the survey process and ensures data integrity.

In the run-up to the 2023 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Elections, Geopoll is pleased to release findings from the latest wave of a series of comprehensive Socio-Political Barometer nationwide surveys conducted over the last two years. This fourth report captures the evolving opinions and expectations of the Congolese people as the nation approaches the elections on December 27, 2023.

This wave of GeoPoll’s Socio-Political Barometer is more than a mere data collection; it represents the collective voice and evolving dynamics of the Congolese electorate. As the DRC prepares to cast its votes, these insights offer a window into the hearts and minds of its citizens.

Methodology

Undertaken from September 16 to November 20, 2023, our survey reached 5,763 households across diverse regions of the DRC. A sample of 5,763 households across

Democratic Republic of the Congo was selected through a Geospatial Information System (GIS) system, so that interviewers and field managers had no role in choosing whom to interview.

Key Findings in Summary

  • Most Congolese people are thoroughly dissatisfied with the state of the country, with unemployment, insecurity, infrastructure and food prices the most mentioned challenges
  • Perceptions have not, however, deteriorated further in the past year – in fact there are signs of marginal improvement, particularly in response to the ongoing implementation of universal free education.
  • The opposition remains divided and unlikely to align in time for the polls.
  • Among those with a strong intention to vote in the upcoming elections, 55% are both willing to support a second term for President Felix Tshisekedi and see no alternative candidate deserving of their vote.

In Conclusion

Based on the survey data GeoPoll collected, a first-round victory for President Tshisekedi is the most likely outcome of the upcoming polls. Still, there is no reason to believe that they will run smoothly. Conflict, logistics, weather, and other factors may affect the outcome.

Le baromètre socio-politique GeoPoll T3/4 2023

Le baromètre socio-politique GeoPoll est une initiative visant à collecter des données rapides, précises et robustes sur les principales questions sociales et politiques dans les pays en développement. Il utilise des enquêtes en face à face à grande échelle, soutenues par une technologie de pointe qui rationalise le processus d’enquête et garantit l’intégrité des données.

À l’approche des élections de 2023 en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), Geopoll est heureux de publier les résultats de la dernière vague d’une série d’enquêtes complètes du Baromètre socio-politique à l’échelle nationale menées au cours des deux dernières années. Ce quatrième rapport rend compte de l’évolution des opinions et des attentes du peuple congolais à l’approche des élections du 27 décembre 2023.

Cette vague du baromètre socio-politique de GeoPoll est plus qu’une simple collection de données ; Ça représente la voix collective et l’évolution dynamique de l’électorat congolais. Alors que la RDC se prépare à voter, ces informations ouvrent une fenêtre sur le cœur et l’esprit de ses citoyens.

Methodologie

Menée du 16 septembre au 20 novembre 2023, notre enquête a touché 5 763 ménages dans diverses régions de la RDC. Un échantillon de 5 763 ménages à travers la République démocratique du Congo a été sélectionnée grâce à une enquête d’information géospatiale
Système (SIG), de sorte que les enquêteurs et les responsables de terrain n’avaient aucun rôle dans le choix des personnes à interviewer.

Principales conclusions en résumé

  • La plupart des Congolais sont profondément insatisfaits de l’état du pays, le chômage, l’insécurité, les infrastructures et les prix alimentaires étant les défis les plus mentionnés.
  • Les perceptions ne se sont toutefois pas davantage détériorées au cours de l’année écoulée – en fait, il existe des signes d’amélioration marginale, notamment en réponse à la mise en œuvre en cours de l’éducation universelle gratuite.
  • L’opposition reste divisée et il est peu probable qu’elle s’aligne à temps pour les élections.
  • Parmi ceux qui ont une intention ferme de voter lors des prochaines élections, 55 % sont prêts à soutenir un second mandat du président Félix Tshisekedi et ne voient aucun candidat alternatif méritant leur vote.

En Conclusion

D’après les données d’enquête collectées par GeoPoll, une victoire du président Tshisekedi au premier tour est le résultat le plus probable des prochains scrutins, mais il n’y a aucune raison de croire qu’ils se déroulent sans problème. Les conflits, la logistique, la météo et d’autres facteurs peuvent affecter le résultat.

Socio-Political Barometer DRC - Q2 2023

The GeoPoll Socio-Political Barometer is an initiative to collect rapid, accurate, and robust data on key social and political issues in developing countries. It uses large-scale face-to-face survey research supported by state-of-the-art technology that streamlines the survey process and ensures data integrity.

The Socio-Political Barometer survey for the second quarter of 2023 was conducted across all provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo from 5 April to 20 July 2023.

Key Highlights from the Report

  • Confidence in the country’s direction has decreased, especially among female respondents.
  • President Tshisekedi’s average satisfaction rating has slipped back below 5/10.
  • Despite declining perceptions (more prominent among the youth), Tshisekedi maintains strong support for a second term.
  • Perceptions of President Tshisekedi’s policy effectiveness, notably in his free education initiative, are consistently improving, reflecting a prevailing sentiment that despite challenging circumstances, he is making significant progress in critical areas.
  • There is decreasing willingness to consider alternatives as the focus narrows on preferred candidates.
  • A fragmented opposition would be unlikely to challenge Tshisekedi’s re-election.
  • Voter turnout is expected to be low, with only 38% intending to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Strong intention to vote correlates with positive views of Tshisekedi.

Faits saillants du rapport

  • La confiance dans la direction du pays a diminué, notamment parmi les répondantes féminines.
  • La note moyenne de satisfaction du Président Tshisekedi est retombée en dessous de 5/10.
  • Malgré des perceptions en baisse (plus prononcées chez les jeunes), Tshisekedi bénéficie d’un fort soutien pour un second mandat.
  • Les perceptions de l’efficacité des politiques du Président Tshisekedi, notamment dans son initiative d’éducation gratuite, s’améliorent régulièrement, reflétant un sentiment dominant qu’en dépit de circonstances difficiles, il réalise des progrès significatifs dans des domaines critiques.
  • Il y a une diminution de la volonté de considérer des alternatives alors que le focus se resserre sur les candidats préférés.
  • Une opposition fragmentée aurait peu de chances de contester la réélection de Tshisekedi.
  • La participation électorale devrait être faible, avec seulement 38 % ayant l’intention de voter lors de la prochaine élection présidentielle. Une forte intention de voter est liée à des opinions positives envers Tshisekedi.

Key Highlights from the Report

  • Access to free education continues to be the leading driver of optimism in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This wave also reveals improved perceptions of the country’s security, roads, schools, hospitals, and sporting prowess.
  • Unemployment and insecurity are the most cited dysfunctional areas, closely followed by the state of the country’s roads and rising prices.
  • Overall expectations from the government are similar to Q3. However, there has been a significant increase in people demanding better roads, an end to insecurity, and better financial circumstances (i.e., lower prices and higher wages.
  • President Tshisekedi’s approval ratings grew from Q3 to Q4, with more people satisfied with his leadership and willing to vote for him in the upcoming elections.
  • There are no signs of a significant rehabilitation of President Kabila’s legacy. A head-to-head comparison with President Tshisekedi on all matters shows a wide gap in perceptions of the two figures that are consistent and even growing a little over time
  • Some respondents feel there has been an improvement in transparency and accountability from the President, with more care taken when making appointments.

République Démocratique du Congo – Enquête Baromètre Socio-Politique GeoPoll Q4 2022

Le baromètre socio-politique GeoPoll est une initiative visant à collecter des données rapides, précises et robustes sur les principaux problèmes sociaux et politiques dans les pays en développement. Il utilise une recherche par sondage à grande échelle en face à face appuyée par une technologie de pointe qui rationalise le processus d’enquête et garantit l’intégrité des données. Nous avons mené la deuxième vague du Baromètre de novembre à décembre 2022 et sommes heureux de vous présenter le rapport !

Faits saillants du rapport

  • L’accès à l’éducation gratuite continue d’être le principal moteur de l’optimisme en République démocratique du Congo. Cette vague révèle également une amélioration des perceptions de la sécurité, des routes, des écoles, des hôpitaux et des prouesses sportives du pays.
  • Le chômage et la précarité sont les dysfonctionnements les plus cités, suivis de près par l’état des routes du pays et la hausse des prix.
  • Les attentes globales du gouvernement sont similaires à celles du T3. Cependant, il y a eu une augmentation significative du nombre de personnes réclamant de meilleures routes, la fin de l’insécurité et de meilleures finances (c’est-à-dire des prix plus bas et des salaires plus élevés).
  • Les cotes d’approbation du président Tshisekedi ont augmenté du troisième au quatrième trimestre, avec plus de personnes satisfaites de son leadership et disposées à voter pour lui lors des prochaines élections.
  • Il n’y a aucun signe d’une réhabilitation significative de l’héritage du président Kabila. Une comparaison directe avec le président Tshisekedi sur tous les sujets montre un large écart dans les perceptions des deux chiffres qui sont cohérents et même en croissance un peu au fil du temps
  • Certains répondants pensent qu’il y a eu une amélioration de la transparence et de la responsabilité du président, avec plus de soin dans les nominations.

The GeoPoll Socio-Political Barometer is an initiative to collect rapid, accurate, and robust data on key social and political issues in developing countries. It makes use of large-scale face to face survey research, supported by state-of-the-art technology that streamlines the survey process and ensures the integrity of the data. We conducted the second Barometer wave from November to December 2022. A full report will be released after the holidays, included here is an early preview of the key highlights.

Sampling and Methodology

The Socio-Political Barometer survey for the fourth quarter of 2022 was conducted across all provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo from 15 November to 18 December 2022. A cluster sampling methodology was applied to draw a sample of 9,253 households across the DRC by means of Geospatial Information System (GIS) based selection. This sampling method is an improvement on wave 1 in terms of accuracy and representativeness, and reflects our ongoing commitment to constantly improving our work in challenging markets. A randomly selected adult member of each household completed a 20-minute face to face interview with a trained and experienced professional interviewer.

Results

The Socio-Political Barometer data collected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in November and December 2022 surfaced the following key metrics and trends.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo today, what do you think WORKS?

What works in DRC graph

Access to free education continues to be the leading driver of optimism in the DR Congo. This wave also reveals improved perceptions of the country’s security, roads, schools, hospitals and sporting prowess. Potentially, the IGF has featured less in the news this quarter, and hence is less endorsed by respondents.

What do you think DOES NOT WORK?

What does not work in DRC graph

Unemployment and insecurity are the most cited dysfunctional areas, closely followed by the state of the country’s roads and rising prices. All are cited by more respondents this wave than in July. Security and roads appearing as both functional and dysfunctional areas suggests these are polarizing issues in Congolese society – a positive experience for some and negative for others.

How satisfied are you with President Tshisekedi’s current mandate? Would you grant him a second term at the ballot box?

Satisfaction with DRC President

Which other potential candidate also has every chance of being elected President against the incumbent?

Only half the respondents believe there is another candidate worth considering, and when pressed to specify, 29% of those said they had not decided who that candidate might be.

viable president candidates in DRC

For the small minority that were willing to express support for a challenger to President Tshisekedi the leader is Martin Fayulu with 18% support, followed by Moise Katumbi on 16%. Kabila, Matata and Bemba are vying for third place at around 4-5%

Closing Insights

It is not possible to determine if the apparent improvement in perceptions both of the country and the President are due to shifts in perception over time or a result of the improved sampling approach we took. Either way, President Tshisekedi would seem to be in a somewhat stronger position at this point in time than we initially estimated.

Look out for our full report in January 2023.

GeoPoll lance une enquête baromètre socio-politique en République démocratique du Congo

Le baromètre socio-politique GeoPoll est une initiative visant à collecter des données rapides, précises et solides sur les principaux problèmes sociaux et politiques dans les pays en développement. Il utilise des sondages à grande échelle en face à face, soutenus par une technologie de pointe qui rationalise le processus d’enquête et garantit l’intégrité des données.

Methodologie

Notre première enquête de baromètre socio-politique au Congo a été menée en juillet 2022, interrogeant 10 532 répondants à travers le pays à l’aide de l’application d’intervieweur mobile personnalisée de GeoPoll. L’ échantillone des données ont été collectées dans 33 villes et dans 145 territoires de la République Démocratique du Congo. Grâce à l’application de cette technologie en combinaison avec notre expérience et notre expertise, GeoPoll a étroitement géré et surveillé la qualité de la collecte de données et l’exactitude des données collectées.

Resultats

Les résultats de la première série d’entretiens font apparaître plusieurs paramètres et tendances sociopolitiques clés.

Les répondants citent le chômage, la médiocrité des infrastructures et l’insécurité comme les préoccupations les plus pressantes du Congo. Il y a une pression importante sur le Président Felix Tshisekedi pour qu’il progresse dans ces domaines et dans d’autres, d’autant plus qu’il cherche à obtenir un second mandat lors des élections prévues pour 2023.

Un peu plus de la moitié des personnes interrogées expriment leur volonté d’accorder un second mandat au président Tshisekedi, tandis qu’un tiers déclarent ne pas avoir l’intention de voter pour un autre candidat. Bien que les rivaux potentiels aient de solides bases de soutien régionales, aucun d’entre eux ne semble avoir suffisamment de soutien au niveau national pour monter un défi significatif. Les perspectives de réélection du président Tshisekedi semblent donc bonnes à ce stade.

Un aspect de la performance du président actuel sur lequel plus de 80% des personnes interrogées s’accordent est qu’il représente une amélioration significative par rapport à l’administration précédente de Joseph Kabila. Seuls 5% des répondants au niveau national estiment que Kabila serait un candidat viable à la présidence lors des prochaines élections. Les répondants qui pensent que le pays est mieux dirigé sous le président Tshisekedi sont deux fois plus nombreux que ceux qui préfèrent les années Kabila.

Results

Findings from the first round of interviews surface several key socio-political metrics and trends.

Respondents cite unemployment, poor infrastructure, and insecurity as the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s most pressing concerns. There is significant pressure on President Felix Tshisekedi to make progress in these and other areas, especially as he looks to secure a second term in the elections planned for 2023.

DRC distribution

Just over half of respondents express a willingness to grant President Tshisekedi a second term, while a third say they have no intention of voting for another candidate. Although potential rivals have strong regional support bases, none of them seem to have enough support at a national level to mount a significant challenge. The prospects for re-election for President Tshisekedi, therefore, seem to be good at this stage.

One aspect of the current president’s performance on which more than 80% of respondents agree is that he represents a significant improvement over the previous administration of Joseph Kabila. Only 5% of respondents at a national level feel that Kabila would be a viable candidate for president in the next elections. Respondents that believe the country is better run under President Tshisekedi outnumber those who prefer the Kabila years by two to one.
