The
popularity of a ruling regime is usually determined by a set of political,
economic and social factors in a nation. Within the Egyptian society, the

equation gives the biggest weight to political branding as the
determining factor for the president’s popularity.

emotional aspects of president Sisi’s image, and it’s based on my answer to Why do Egyptians like the current Egyptian President,"el-Sisi"?
