VILNIUS - Lithuania's 15th Cabinet of Ministers, appointed by President Adamkus, has not met with much enthusiasm among residents of the country's five major cities and towns, a poll by apklausa.lt has found.

Some 44.9 percent of respondents thought that the new government is only mediocre and no better than previous administrations, according to the poll carried out for the Veidas weekly magazine.

Another 23.6 percent think that the new administration is unprofessional and will soon fall apart

Nearly 20.3 percent of respondents have a positive opinion of the new government and expect them "to do a lot."

Only 5.5 percent of those polled believe that the Cabinet of Ministers is currently the strongest branch of the government.

The call center Apklausa.lt polled 500 residents of Lithuania's five major cities and towns on Dec. 2 through 4.
