Abstract
POP interviewed 1,044 Hong Kong people between May 3 to 10, 2012 by means of a random telephone survey conducted by real interviewers. The survey shows that the support rating of CE Donald Tsang is 42.9 marks, significantly lower than last time. His approval rate now stands at 20%, disapproval rate at 73%, giving a net popularity of negative 53 percentage points. Although Tsang’s overall popularity has not changed much compared with two weeks ago, they are the poorest figures since he became CE. As for CE-elect CY Leung, his latest support rating is 56.5 marks, approval rate 56%, disapproval rate 34%, meaning that his net popularity stands at positive 22 percentage points, further widening his lead over CE Donald Tsang. As for the Secretaries of Departments, the latest support rating of CS Stephen Lam is 38.9 marks, approval rate 13%, disapproval rate 43%, giving a net popularity of negative 30 percentage points. The popularity of FS John Tsang has increased significantly, his support rating is 52.7 marks, approval rate 43%, disapproval rate 19%, giving a net approval rate of positive 24 percentage points. As for SJ Wong Yan-lung, his support rating is 58.0 marks, approval rate dropped to 53% which is his all-time record low, disapproval rate 9%, and his net popularity stands at positive 44 percentage points. Wong Yan-lung remains to be the most popular Secretary of Department. As for the Directors of Bureaux, compared to one month ago, the approval rate of 5 of the 12 Directors have gone up, that of 7 Directors have gone down. Among them, only Secretary for Food and Health York Chow has registered change in approval rate beyond sampling error, down by 7 percentage points. Among all the Directors, only Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing and Secretary for Education Michael Suen register negative popularity, at negative 7 and 35 percentage points respectively. Secretary for Development Carrie Lam continues to be the most popular Director, while registering her all-time high approval rate. According to POP’s standard, Carrie Lam falls under the category of “ideal” performer, Ambrose Lee, Wong Yan-lung, Matthew Cheung and Eva Cheng now fall under the category of “successful” performer. The performance of John Tsang, York Chow, Edward Yau, Tsang Tak-sing and Stephen Lam can be labeled as “mediocre”, that of Ceajer Chan, Raymond Tam, Denise Yue and Gregory So can be labeled as “inconspicuous”, Michael Suen can be labeled as “depressing” and that of Donald Tsang “disastrous”. The maximum sampling error of all approval and disapproval rates is +/-4 percentage points at 95% confidence level, while the sampling error of rating figures needs another calculation. The response rate of the survey is 65%.
Points to note:
[1] The address of the "HKU POP SITE" is http://hkupop.pori.hk, journalists can check out the details of the survey there.
[2] The sample size of this survey is 1,044 successful interviews, not 1,044 x 64.6% response rate. In the past, many media made this mistake.
[3] The maximum sampling error of all approval and disapproval rates is +/-4 percentage points at 95% confidence level, while the sampling error of rating figures needs another calculation. "95% confidence level" means that if we were to repeat a certain survey 100 times, using the same questions each time but with different random samples, we would expect 95 times getting a figure within the error margins specified. When quoting these figures, journalists can state "sampling error of various ratings not more than +/-2.0 and sampling error of percentages not more than +/-4% at 95% confidence level".
[4] When quoting percentages of this survey, journalists should refrain from reporting decimal places, but when quoting the rating figures, one decimal place can be used, in order to match the precision level of the figures.
[5] The data of this survey is collected by means of random telephone interviews conducted by real interviewers, not by any interactive voice system (IVS). If a research organization uses "computerized random telephone survey" to camouflage its IVS operation, it should be considered unprofessional.

Latest Figures
POP today releases on schedule via POP SITE the latest popularity figures of CE Donald Tsang, CE-elect Leung Chun-ying, as well as Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux under the accountability system. All the figures have been weighted according to provisional figures obtained from the Census and Statistics Department regarding the gender-age distribution of the Hong Kong population in 2011 year-end. Herewith the contact information for the latest survey:

Overall sample size |
Response rate |
Maximum sampling error of percentages[6] |

[6] Errors are calculated at 95% confidence level using full sample size. “95% confidence level” means that if we were to repeat a certain survey 100 times, using the same questions each time but with different random samples, we would expect 95 times getting a figure within the error margins specified. Questions using only sub-samples would have bigger sampling error. Sampling errors of ratings are calculated according to the distribution of the scores collected.
As different questions involve different sub-samples, the sampling errors will vary accordingly. The table below briefly shows the relationship between sample size and maximum sampling errors for the readers to capture the corresponding changes:

[8] All error figures in the table are calculated at 95% confidence level. "95% confidence level" means that if we were to repeat a certain survey 100 times, using the same questions each time but with different random samples, we would expect 95 times getting a figure within the error margins specified. Media can state "sampling error of rating not more than +/-1.3, sampling error of percentages not more than +/-3% at 95% confidence level" when quoting the above figures. The error margin of previous survey can be found at the POP Site.
[9] Such changes have gone beyond the sampling errors at the 95% confidence level, meaning that they are statistically significant prima facie. However, whether numerical differences are statistically significant or not is not the same as whether they are practically useful or meaningful.

[10] The frequency of this series of questions is different for different questions, and also different from that of CE popularity ratings.
