70% of Ukrainians believe that Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy should remain in his post while martial law remains in force, according
to a poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).
The survey was conducted between May 26 and June 1.
Depending on the region of residence, 65-74% of respondents supported Zelenskyy remaining in office, with 22% opposed.
According to KIIS, the vast majority of Ukrainians do not doubt the legitimacy of the president.
56% of people somewhat or completely approve of Zelenskyy's performance as president of Ukraine, while 37% somewhat or completely disapprove.
The KIIS noted that Zelenskyy's approval has decreased compared to last year, but still remains high. A survey conducted in September 2023 showed that 77% of Ukrainians approved of the president.
The majority of Ukrainians—69%—have a neutral to positive attitude towards the current president, although the share of those who admire his has fallen (from 33% in July 2022 to 8% now), KIIS noted.
The survey was conducted via phone interviews, reaching 2,011 adult Ukrainians across government-controlled territory. The sampling error is no more than 2.4% for figures closer to 50% and no more than 0.5% for figures closer to 1%.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
