民研計劃會否對陳方安生和葉劉淑儀進行民望調查？

民研計劃對政府官員的民望調查，一般會從官員任命開始，卸任結束。對彭定康如是，對董建華如是，對陳方安生和葉劉淑儀也如是。不過，以民研計劃的定期調查計，上述人士亦可能從下列途徑被列入調查範圍之內： 
晉身國家領導人後，得到足夠的民意提名而被列入兩岸政治人物評分調查； 
成為議員後而被納入各種議員的民望調查系列； 
基於巿民的熟悉程度而被列入本地政治人物調查； 
因為可能參加選舉，包括特首選舉，而被列入各級選舉民意調查。 
由於上述調查的次數和深度都不及現職官員的民望調查，參考價值亦有所不及。

須要補充說明的，是民研計劃可以按照既定政策隨時接受外界委託而進行有關調查，條件是民研計劃可以全權設計和執行有關調查，和調查結果可以全面公開。

Would HKUPOP conduct popularity surveys on Anson Chan and Regina Ip?

The general practice of HKUPOP is to begin monitoring the popularity of government officials once they are appointed and stop once they leave office. This applies to Chris Patten, CH Tung, Anson Chan and Regina Ip. Nevertheless, counting on POP tracking surveys alone, these people may be included in our surveys via the following channels: 

Be included in our regular surveys of cross-strait political figures if they have become national leaders, and if they are popular enough according to our nomination surveys; 
Become councillors and be included in our regular surveys of various kinds of councillors; 
Become popular enough to be included in our regular survey of local political figures; 
Be included in our election surveys because they may participate in certain elections, including the election of the Chief Executive. 
These surveys, however, are much less frequent and shallow compared to our regular surveys of incumbent government officials. They are therefore of less study value. 

It should be pointed out, however, that POP may be commissioned any time to study the popularity of these public figures, according to our prescribed service policy. In all such projects, we require full autonomy and independence in their design and operation, and we would release our findings for public consumption upon completion of the projects.

問責制主要官員民望調查簡介 

環顧先進民主國家，主要官員的民望調查是不可或缺的民調項目。雖然香港特區政府高官問責制是在2002年7月才正式實行，民研計劃於2001年1月便開始為三大司長進行評分調查，而自2002年6月起亦開始為各問責局長進行評分調查，又在2002年9月開始為各主要官員進行支持率調查，並在能力範圍內以最頻密的方法記錄及發表結果。以下首先介紹有關各司長調查的發展：

Popularity survey of principal officials under the accountability system

In advanced democratic countries, the popularity of their principal officials is the crux of all opinion polls. Although the accountability system of the HKSAR Government was established in July 2002, HKUPOP has measured the ratings of the three Secretaries of Departments since January 2001, and then for all the Directors of Bureaux since June 2002. In September 2002, we also started to conduct surveys on the support rate of all principal officials, and to measure and release the popularity of our principal officials as frequently as we could, using our limited resources. First of all, we look at the development of the survey for Secretaries of Departments. 

The development of the survey for Directors of Bureaux is as follows: 

All the findings from our surveys on "popularity of principal officials" have been released online through our HKU POP Site.
