If the presidential election in Ukraine were held in the second half of September 2026, the largest share of voter support would go to Volodymyr Zelensky and Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
This is shown by the results of a survey conducted from 16 to 21 September 2026 by the Sociopolis company.
As noted, 19,1% of all respondents, or 23,0% among those who would take part in the vote and had decided on their choice, would vote for Zelensky; for Zaluzhnyi the figures are 19,0% and 22,9%, respectively.
Next in the presidential ratings are Petro Poroshenko (8,9% of all respondents and 10,7% among those who would take part in the vote and had decided), Kyrylo Budanov (7,9% and 9,5%, respectively), Andrii Biletskyi (7,2% and 8,7%), Mykhailo Fedorov (6,3% and 7,6%) and Dmytro Razumkov (5,7% and 6,9%). Oleksandr Usyk would be supported by 2,7% of all respondents and 3,2% among those who would take part in the vote and had decided, Yulia Tymoshenko by 2,5% and 3,0%, respectively. At the same time 8,5% of respondents could not decide who they would vote for, 7,2% would not take part in the vote, and 1,2% would spoil their ballot.
