Almost one in two Italians (46%) did not understand the reasons for the political crisis which the government of Italy lives. 

A great perplexity, probably worsened by the dramatic moment that Italy and the rest of the world are facing in the fight against the pandemic. 

This is the main point that appears in the research carried out by Ipsos, for the channel La7

But if a country practically divided in half thinks about this issue, the opinion of Italians regroups, decisively rejecting the political strategy of the leader of the Living Italy Matthew Renzi.

He has been engaged for nearly three weeks in a harsh and grueling tug of war against Palazzo Chigi and the allies of the Movement 5 Stars and Democratic Party.

Italians: Renzi pursues his personal interests with the crisis

In the crisis, according to 73% of respondents, Renzi mainly pursues his “personal interests or his political side”. 

Only a residual part of Italians (13% to be precise) instead argue that the former prime minister is putting the country's interests first; while 14% responded that they did not have a clear opinion on the matter. 

In the case of possible early elections, it is not certain that Renzi's party would be able to maintain its seats in the Chamber (30) and in the Senate (17).

The party, however, appears in polls of voting intentions below the 3% barrier clause for entering Parliament. 

Conte has 55% preference

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, although to a lesser extent compared to the period of the first wave of the pandemic, enjoys a broad consensus compared to his political competitors. 

And also in this case, in direct confrontation with the leader of Italia Viva, the Ipsos survey shows that the prime minister is preferred by 55%, while Renzi is preferred by only 10% of the sample examined; 35% had no opinion. 

The appreciation of Conte, the professor who fell into politics, remains high (51% against 27%) even in comparison with the secretary of Alloy, Matteo Salvini.
