Zelensky is firmly leading in public opinion polls

Zelensky is firmly leading in public opinion polls

18 February 2021

President Volodymyr Zelensky remains Ukraine’s
preferred choice for the post. He would be supported by 22.7% of voters if the
presidential election in Ukraine was held next Sunday, according to the results
of a poll conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) on
February 5-7. This percentage was calculated based on the polled citizens who
have already defined their best candidate (and 16.2% of all polled). The
results of another poll, published by the Razumkov Center last week, gave
Zelensky roughly the same figures – 23.1% of those with a made choice (15.8% of
all polled). And the third poll, conducted by Infosapiens and presented this
week, produced similar results: 28.8% of determined voters (17.1%) would
reelect Zelensky. 

 

According to KIIS, Zelensky’s predecessor Petro
Poroshenko would get 18.3% of votes among those those who decided on their
choice (13.1% of all polled), former prime minister and Batkivschyna party leader
Yulia Tymoshenko would receive 14.5% (10.3%), and leader of the Opposition
Platform – For Life party Yuriy Boiko would collect 11.4% (8.1%).

 

The Razumkov Center gave the second place to Yuriy
Boiko who would collect up to 20% of decided voters (13%), leaving both
Poroshenko and Tymoshenko out of the possible runoff. But Infosapiens predicts
the same runoff as in 2019, with Poroshenko gaining 20.4% of decided votes
(12.2%) while Boiko would get just 18.2% (10.8%).

 

Yuri Svirko: It has long been a Ukrainian tradition to start hating a newly elected
president as soon as his first year in office. Against this background,
Volodymyr Zelensky fares pretty well, despite the aftermath of COVID-19. Since
he is now not a political novice, Ukraine’s electoral choices are becoming more
structured, with pro-Russian forces improving their chances, as we are
observing.
