General Zaluzhnyi trusted the most, but Zelensky leads in elections: new rating

Valerii Zaluzhnyi remains the leader in terms of trust among Ukrainians, but in a hypothetical presidential vote the first place is held by Volodymyr Zelensky. The gap between them in the electoral rating is only 2,7 percentage point.

This is reported by the sociological group Rating.

64% of respondents trust Zaluzhnyi — this is the highest figure among the politicians included in the survey. 53% of respondents trust Zelensky.

The same level of trust — 53% — was recorded for Kyrylo Budanov. At the same time, the level of mistrust toward them differs significantly: 40% of respondents do not trust Zelensky, and 31% do not trust Budanov.

Mykhailo Fedorov is trusted by 38% of respondents, Yevhen Khmara by 29%, Andrii Sybyza by 24%. Petro Poroshenko has the same trust rating — 24%.

At the same time, Poroshenko has the highest level of mistrust among the listed politicians. 70% of respondents expressed a negative attitude toward the former president.

A separate question concerned possible voting in the presidential election. If it were held in the near future, 22,9% of respondents would vote for Zelensky.

Zaluzhnyi would be supported by 20,2% of respondents. Thus, despite a much higher trust rating, in a potential vote he currently trails Zelensky by 2,7 percentage point.

Petro Poroshenko and Mykhailo Fedorov would each receive 7,6% of the votes. 6,7% of respondents would vote for Kyrylo Budanov.

Andrii Biletskyi would be supported by 5,4% of respondents, Dmytro Razumkov by 5,1%. 2,4% would vote for Serhii Prytula, 1,9% for Yulia Tymoshenko, and 1,4% for Yurii Boiko.

Another 4,5% of respondents would choose another candidate. 5,2% of respondents would not go to vote, and 9,2% could not decide on an answer.
