    Presidential and general elections projected to take place in 2007 are to cause some important decisions to be made regarding the future of Turkey’s politics and economics. Before and after the election, some changes are expected especially in economic parameters and conjuncture. In this context, it is important for the public to express their views and expectations about the politics and economy. For this purpose, a questionnaire form consisting of 55 questions was prepared and applied four months before the election in March 2007 to one thousand and one hundred ninety nine people living in Bursa. As a result of this study, in the March 2007 period the satisfaction of the people in Bursa with some issues, their confidence in some institutions, their opinions about current and old political parties, and their expectations, tendencies and views regarding economic and political situation about the past, current and future period were established. Besides, current AKP government’s performance regarding the economic, political, foreign relations and other issues were also determined. Furthermore, the factors affecting the issues such as the level of confidence of people in Bursa in the government (1=confidence, 0=no confidence) and their satisfaction with the current economic situation (1=yes, 0=no) were researched with binary logistic regression analysis that is accepted as the member of advance nonparametric methods set.
