On Nov.17 the Beijing-based Horizon Research released its "Opinion Poll Report on Performance of Heads of 20 Counties and Cities in China 2003". The report shows that the mayors involved in the research all collect more than 50 percent rate and the average is 58 percent. At the top of the list is the mayor of Beijing with 70.5 percent.

According to the plebiscite including 13 cities and 7 counties, 10.1 percent of residents assured their support for the reelection of their chief administrators incumbent, 35.1 percent would possibly vote for their another tenure, 14.4 percent may not and 7.5 percent absolutely not while the rest showed no interest in expressing their attitude or unable to decide.

Mayor of Beijing has won the support from 70.5 percent of the residents in Beijing who can remember the name of their major, the highest among his peers, an increase of 7 percent as compared with the previous year. Support for mayors of Shanghai, 67.4 percent, and Xi��an, 51.2 percent, also indicating an increase while slight decline witnessed in support for mayors in other cities.

County magistrates have gained lower support rate than mayors, the poll showed. Only 3 out of 7 magistrates in the polling collected support from over 50 percent of the residents. Mayors are also clearly more highly appreciated than the county chiefs for their performance in policy making, actual achievements, personal image, honest in administration and care for the people.

It is worth noticing that none of the items included in the evaluation has gained recognition of over 50 percent and the honest administration indicated the lowest acceptance.
