Hong Kong's chief executive sees popularity plunge, even before taking office

The phenomena we've seen most clearly in Japan is at work in Hong Kong, only it's happening more rapidly.


Sharp drop in support for C.Y. Leung, poll finds
Chief executive-elect Leung Chun-ying's public support has suffered a sharp drop amid his recent skirmishes with lawmakers, a University of Hong Kong poll has found.

Leung's support slid to 46 per cent, down from 56 per cent early this month, according to the poll of 1,001 people conducted May 18-24. Those who opposed him as chief executive increased to 41 per cent from 34 per cent.
Another poll has better numbers, but these numbers are consistent with social mood.
