VTsIOM did not publish the weekly rating of Vladimir Putin
The state agency VTsIOM has not published trust ratings for politicians, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, since April 24, The Moscow Times reports . Prior to this, his ratings had fallen for seven weeks in a row.
The rating is published weekly on Fridays at 10 am Moscow time. The new rating was not published either on the weekend of May 1 or on the first working day after the long weekend. As the publication notes, in 2025, VTsIOM published Putin’s rating on May 9, a day off.
On May 1, the Public Opinion Foundation recorded a decrease in approval of Putin's work by three percentage points over the week.
On April 24, VTsIOM published another decrease in Putin’s approval rating with a two-hour delay, the Agency noted. Then the level of approval of Putin's work dropped to 65.5%.
The independent research organization Levada Center reported that Putin's rating has been falling for the last six months. At the end of April, according to a survey by the center, it was 79%.
- Sociological services do not report what exactly could be causing the drop in Putin’s ratings. In recent weeks, discontent, including in military circles, has been caused by Internet blocking.
