Public Opinion Poll: Coronavirus Pandemic is halting pro-democracy protests temporarily, but no add-on support goes to the government
The data was collected by Prof. Francis Lee and his team. This supplementaey analysis was presented by Dr. Leung Kai-chi, a lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
1. The “rally round the flag effect” is a concept used in political science to explain increased short-run popular support of the government during periods of crisis or war.
While Hong Kong citizens have been combating the epidemic in solidarity on the community level, it has not benefited the government in terms of public confidence and support.
2. Although the proportion of “Zero trust in Police” has fallen below 50%, at 46%, it still marks a huge difference compared to 7% before the 2019 Anti-extradition law movement. There is no sign of reversing public confidence in this regard.
3. Survey findings showed that many elderlies gave full mark to “trust in police”. Yet, it is worth-noting that among all those who gave full marks, only 32% are 70-years-old or above and this segment accounted merely 13% of all respondents.
4. No respondent in the age group 15-19 gave full mark to “trust in police”.
5. The education level of many respondents who gave full mark to “trust in police” are primary school or lower. The rate is significantly higher among all respondents.
6. The receding in protest activities currently, is temporary and an outcome of epidemic outbreak. Large-scale protest activities are likely to resume once when the outbreak is eased.
