Lev Gudkov, director of the Levada Center, called the accusation of bias of the rating of the rating of Dmitry Medvedev’s “inexpensive reaction”, Fontanka.ru reports . Gudkov is waiting for apologies from the press secretary of Prime Minister Natalia Timakova.
“I saw these comments. It is best to apologize to us for the false statement that this is a“ political order ”. The study was conducted in an initiative order. At our expense. Nobody ordered it to us. Timakov said about the order. This is how to react - this is a rather inexistent position, as it seems to me. However, such a position is characteristic of the entire current leadership. Not analysis of the problems that arise in societies, but in society, but Swearing from them, this is not a sign of serious political leadership.
“We have been conducting this kind of research in relation to Medvedev since the beginning of his election campaign (this refers to the 2008 presidential campaign. - Ed.),” In the Levada Center, noted. Gudkov emphasized that the Prime Minister’s rating is reduced “for a very long time”. "The crisis continues, people are tired of sanctions, the fall of income and the futility of the situation," the sociologist explained. According to Gudkov, Medvedev "In this regard, a convenient figure for the sewage of irritation and discontent, as not an independent politician, but Putin's shadows."
On Wednesday, Timakova called the survey results "politically engaged". "The chairman of the government does not attach much importance to the data of the hundreds of polls, especially the Levada Center for a very definite political order," said Medvedeva, a representative of Medvedev.
In turn, the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the data of the polls are distinguished by a certain volatility, so the study of the Levada Center requires analysis. "The government is complicated, the government carries a load of many decisions related to operational management, and of course, here a certain volatility of sociological data may take place. This is quite acceptable," Peskov said.
The results of the Levada Center survey, published in the morning on April 7-10, indicate that 45 percent of respondents to one degree or another support Medvedev’s resignation from the post of prime minister. A third of the respondents spoke out against the resignation. At the same time, 23 percent do not have a position on this issue.
Once again, a decrease in confidence in the current prime minister was recorded. In April, only three percent of the respondents said that they "completely trust" Medvedev. In July last year, 14 percent of the respondents were given such an answer, in December - 9. The negative attitude towards the prime minister has increased. 9 percent experience “antipathy” to him, and 4 “disgust”. The sympathy for Medvedev announced 8 percent,

If in February, Medvedev’s activities were approved by 52 percent of the respondents, then in March only 42 percent expressed such an opinion. At the same time, Vladimir Putin is supported by 82 percent of the participants in the March study.
On March 3 , a new investigation of the FBK "He is not Dimon" about elite real estate in Russia and abroad, which the prime minister uses.

On April 4, Medvedev called the FBK investigation "nonsense" . According to the prime minister, the investigation is “private sponsors”, whose efforts are aimed at “achieving a specific political result”. On April 19, the prime minister called the investigation "an absolutely false product of political crooks" and again refused to comment on it .
