As all findings should be self-explanatory, we do not intend to give further comments. For example, under "popularity of the HKSAR government", it should be fairly obvious from the charts that there was a plunge in satisfaction between 1997 and 1998, down to record low in 2003, and then a rapid surge in 2005. Satisfaction rate overcame dissatisfaction rate in 2005, and then fluctuated around record high in the last 12 months. All these are simple hard-fact observations. We leave it open for other people to make whatever sense out of them.
