35 percent of Russians would have a positive attitude to the proposal to make Vladimir Putin the President of Russia for life. According to Echo of Moscow with reference to the Levada Center, such a result was shown by a public opinion poll. 54 percent of the respondents opposed Putin's life sentence, 11 percent found it difficult to answer.

More than half of the respondents (51 percent) are ready to support the amendments to the Constitution, allowing Putin to be elected for the third term, justifying this decision by the fact that "we do not see a decent replacement." Another 16 percent allow this option for the development of the political system, but only if an extreme situation arises (a sudden economic crisis or armed conflict within the country, large terrorist acts, etc.). Only 21 percent of respondents who believe that such a deviation from the constitution should not be allowed should not be allowed in any case. The rest found it difficult to answer.

The rating of trust in the head of state has reached a record level of the last 4 years. Putin’s policy is approved by 66 percent of the respondents.
