Morale Index

SUMMARY

This section analyzes the morale and economic crisis expectations of Turkish society. The study addresses individuals' perceptions of their ability to make ends meet, personal and nationwide economic crisis expectations, and their views on the current economic situation. Furthermore, it analyzes the potential impact of economic indicators such as the consumer confidence index, inflation rate, and crisis expectation on political party preferences. This chapter provides a vital foundation for understanding the public's psychological state in the face of economic difficulties and how economic perceptions reflect on political behavior:

• Were you able to make ends meet last month?
• Do you think the country is currently in an economic crisis?
• Do you expect an economic crisis in Turkey in the next 3 months?
• Do you expect economic hardship in your own life in the next 3 months?
