High popularity rating

Published: 9 March 2000 y., Thursday
APN reporter quoted General Director of Agency of Regional Political Research (ARPI) Andrei Melekhin as saying at a news conference that acting Russia_s President Vladimir Putin_s popularity rating is high: around 58 percent with deviation within 2 percent. Melekhin also said that there are less Putin_s supporters in big cities. It is interesting that according to ARPI the majority of Putin_s supporters do not know his biography. Gennady Zyuganov ranking second in popularity rating (24 percent) is not popular in big cities either. His electorate resides mainly in rural areas and small town and settlements.Urban population prefer Grigory Yavlinsky who has 7 percent all over Russia. Socially active part of population is willing to vote for him: people from 20 to 30 years old. The rest presidential candidates fail to record over 1.5 percent. Therefore data of their rating are within probable sociological errors.
