Plot summary[]
- "This is a crisis! A drop this big indicates the average citizen's frustrations with the war's progress, something that can easily be placed at the feet of the Senate—the same Senate that ties up the Chancellor's best intentions in needless bureaucracy!"
- ―Mas Amedda
From Dateline Coruscant, a HoloNet News agency on the Republic capital planet Coruscant, anchor Rule Davenbay reports that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's approval rating among Inner Core citizens has fallen to 81%. According to the independent polling agency Chokee & Chokee, Palpatine's approval rating is at its lowest point since the start of the Clone Wars between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Davenbay goes on to play an address to the Galactic Senate by Vice Chairman Mas Amedda regarding this latest news. Amid boos from senators, Amedda claims that Palpatine's approval ratings are dwindling because the Senate is interfering with the Supreme Chancellor's business; according to Amedda, the Senate is tying up Palpatine's plans with bureaucratic nonsense. Davenbay concludes the report by disclosing Chokee & Chokee's latest collected approval ratings of the Senate, which have dropped to a low 31%.
