The sociological service of "SN-Stolichka," held an interview in the western and central part of Ukraine, the main task of which was to find out how much the Ukrainians trust the politicians.
About 2 750 citizens were interviewed by telephone, among them about 750 live in the western region and 2 000 live in Kiev.
The respondents had to answer the following question "Whom of the politicians do you trust most of all?"
The results in Kiev:
Victor Yushchenko – 20%
Julia Timoshenko – 17%
Vladimir Litvin – 13%
Alexander Moroz – 6%
Victor Yanukovich - 3%
Natalia Vitrenko – 2%
Anatoly Kinakh – 2%
Leonid Chernovetskii – 1,5%
Leonid Kravchuk – 1,5%
Valery Konovalyuk – 1,0%
Yury Lutsenko – 1,0%
Leonid Kuchma – 0,5%
Yury Kostenko – 0,5%
Yury Karmazin – 0,5%
Roman Bezsmertnyi – 0,5%
Nickolay Katerinchuk – 0,5%
Nestor Shufrich – 0,5%
Petr Simonenko – 0,5%
I trust nobody – 28,5%
The results got in the western regions of Ukraine
Victor Yushchenko – 29,3%
Julia Timoshenko – 21,3%
Vladimir Litvin – 16,0%
Aleksander Moroz – 8,0%
Valery Konovalyuk – 1,3%
Yury Lutsenko – 1,3%
Leonid Kravchuk – 1,3%
I trust nobody – 21,3%
This "Whome" guy doesn't sound trustworthy to me.
I think you're reading too much into it, since it's not an approval poll. It doesn't indicate that the other 80% disapprove of him, only that he isn't the politician they trust the most.
No, that's not what the poll says. The poll asks, "which politician do you trust the most?" 30% say Yushchenko, which is actually really high for these kinds of polls. If you don't believe me, look at Leonid Kuchma's response, which, in Kiev, is only 0.5% and which doesn't register at all in Western Ukraine. Yushchenko's opponents hate him because he isn't a flunky of Putin's. As far as I'm concerned, so much the better...
he just needs to be the "ver" guy. Then it will make sense.
Politician and trust do not belong in the same sentence together.
Moreover, the second most popular politician, Julia Timoshenko, is Yushchenko's Prime Minister and ally. The poll shows just how popular the Western reformists are after years of failed Kuchmaism.
Actually, Tymoshenko is also Yushchenko's chief rival for power. Look up past articles on them, posted on FR. There is ZERO love lost between the two.
shhhhh....dont spoil jb6's propoganda. remember, according to jb6: if it attacks ukraine's freedom from mother russia, its a good article. he's already had one article pulled today.
Maybe, but so what? They're both pro-Western, anti-Russian reformers. Oh and #3, Litvin, is as well. The dead-end Putinists are completely discredited.
If pro-Western you mean EU and reformists you mean: minimal wage up 90%, taxes up 20%, government set prices on wheat, milk, meat, gas, oil, pro-business by having their policies close down several thousand businesses and dropping economic growth to 4% vs last year's 12.7% with an inflation rate of now 15% (highest in eastern Europe); then you are absolutely right.
No, if it attacks the socialists trolls in power in Ukraine who have "improved" the Ukrainian GDP growth from 12.7% to 4% while driving up taxes, inflation and setting down government mandated prices, then yes, it's a good article. The people you support, especially Tymoshenko, are out and out socialists.
Whome's on third!
What kind of FSU resident would trust ANY politicians?
OH I GET IT!!! you want to HELP ukraine! ha. my mistake. i guess thats why you supported yanukovich and the russians and their political take over, and opposed any free elections in ukraine.
yeah that makes a whole crapload of sense.
one thing remains...after almost a hundred years of russian/communist 'help' (ie rule) in ukraine, do you honestly expect instant capitalist success in a few months?
Again, I don't hate Ukraine, I hate the EU and the socialists that run that monstrocity. Funny how you as a Pole support a creation of Hitler's Third Reich, or didn't you know that the foundations of almost all of the EU institutions were laid out in Hitler's New European Order? Even the foundations for the Euro were laid out by the Reichbank in 1939. The Cold War is the only thing that kept this beast from gaining power. Funny how you run to surrender the sovereignty of your own nation to another socialist disaster.
Oh please, your sodding socialist buddies and EU lap dogs are calling for you in the economic "heavan" that they are creating. Or are you, according to little Yulia, a racketeer that dares to set his own prices?
ha, i mention your support of russias involvement of fraudulant elections in ukraine, and you ask if i'm a 'rackateer'.
you are either having problems with reading comprehension, or youre really bad at changing the topic. maybe you need more training at KGB university.
Since they "were interviewed by telephone" they were not anonymous. It means that the real support for the people in power is much LOWER. And even in the Western Ukraine Victor Yanukovich scored more than 3% during the elections.
