The popularity rating of the Russian president Vladimir Putin reached its lowest level since before the start of the war in Ukraine, according to data published by the state polling institute VTsIOM.
According to this survey, Vladimir Putin's approval rating has fallen to 65,6%, while public trust in the Kremlin leader has also declined. Although this level remains high by international standards, it represents a significant drop in the Russian context.
Several factors could explain this decline. Internet access restrictions, economic pressures related to the conflict, and the consequences of international sanctions are regularly cited to understand the evolution of public opinion.
This decline occurs within a highly controlled environment, where independent media are limited and public criticism restricted. In this context, some observers urge caution in interpreting this data.
Skepticism persists regarding the reliability of polls in Russia, due to political conditions and censorship. Despite this, these results could reflect growing tensions within Russian society.
This development, even if measured, underlines the challenges facing the Russian government, as the war in Ukraine continues to weigh on the economy and on the daily lives of the population.
