Prime Minister Tarique Rahman enjoys a strong personal approval rating, with 66.3 percent of respondents in a nationwide survey believing he is performing well. The government's overall performance after six months in office also received a positive assessment from 54.5 percent of those polled.

The findings come from Doppler Opinion Research's Approval Rating Survey 2026, conducted between August 6 and 15 among 3,443 people across Bangladesh. While the Prime Minister's approval was consistent across various demographics, including supporters of opposition parties, public sentiment regarding the government's overall performance was less enthusiastic, with 32.9 percent rating it poorly.

Respondents identified electricity and fuel shortages, along with high prices of essentials, as the country's biggest problems, cited by 59.5 percent and 59.1 percent respectively. Law and order concerns ranked third at 32.6 percent. Education was the sole government sector to receive a favorable rating, with 70.6 percent of respondents approving of its performance. The survey also gauged the performance of opposition leaders, with mixed results.
