The Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) said on Sunday that Vice President Boediono is one of the reasons behind President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's poor leadership in office.

An LSI survey in October showed that only 39 percent of respondents were satisfied with Boediono's performance.

"Boediono is supposed to function as an 'accelerator' because SBY is a 'brake'. But in reality Boediono also works as a 'brake'. People feel that the government has become slower," LSI researcher Ardian Sopa said, as quoted by kompas.com.

In January 2010, exactly 100 days into Yudhoyono's second term of office, 53 percent of respondents said that they were happy with Boediono's work. In October of the same year, the figure slumped to 47.1 percent indicating the public's growing dissatisfaction with his performance.

"Since the first year in office, the public has not been satisfied with Boediono's work. The public has always compared Boediono to Jusuf Kalla who is seen as more determined," he said.
