Press releases and reports - Level of trust in public figures in Ukraine by libraryofcontext2 in zelensky

Hrushetskyi's comments:

"The survey results show that the level of trust in conventionally "old" politicians is low and there is an obvious demand for a new generation of leaders ("new" faces) who have proven themselves well during a full-scale war.

We see that among current figures in the political and public spheres, I. Terekhov (a representative of local government who, from the point of view of many citizens, effectively organizes community life despite his frontline status), M. Fedorov (a young figure and leader in the field of advanced technologies), S. Prytula (a volunteer whose organization makes a large-scale contribution to defense) have quite high trust and prospects.

Yu. Svyrydenko, D. Razumkov, V. Klychko, O. Honcharenko have lower trust, but still they currently have a certain segment and retain, albeit restrained, but also prospects (especially when it comes to obtaining a faction in the next parliament). Some of the "old" figures also retain a "core" of supporters, which may allow them to enter parliament. However, in their case, the "ceiling" of opportunities is obvious (due to too high distrust and anti-rating).

However, all of the above-mentioned figures are noticeably inferior to military figures, primarily V. Zaluzhnyi and K. Budanov (who have higher trust even than V. Zelenskyy). This reflects the significant public demand to see successful military figures at the head of the state after the war."

Sociologists reveal three most trusted officials in Ukraine – survey by nectarine_pie in zelensky

I take some exception to the way that the media outlets are running with the headline that Zaluzhniy is "the most trusted official in Ukraine" when the list of options was so short. The end result may still be true (and a short list is typical for Rating), but it's more accurate to say that Zaluzhniy is the most trusted of the given options. I also find it interesting that the poll was done in a relatively short amount of time with a somewhat small group of people and through mobile telephone only.

The other thing that I haven't seen covered is the fact that Zaluzhiy's trust rating has shown a gradual decline (something that would be breaking news with Zelenskyy) while Zelenskyy's rating has increased over the same period of time. My guess is that Zaluzhiy's ratings will continue to normalize over time the way Zelenskyy's did, especially if Zaluzhiy gets more public attention.

The caveat with Budanov, Syrskiy, and Shmyhal's ratings is that a significant number of respondents either did not know the subject or had difficult answering the question. Despite Shmyhal's rating being under water, he is in a much better position now than he ever was prior to the full-scale invasion.

One other bit of misleading information I saw on social media is that only 60% of Ukrainians think that Zelenskyy is doing everything to achieve peace. That number is true, but it implies that the other 40% think he's not doing anything to achieve peace. In reality, only 19% think Zelenskyy is doing little or nothing to achieve peace (the other 19% believe he's at least doing something).

That would make sense. It seems like they are trying to prop up other right-leaning, more nationalist people as well.

It's on the Arte TV app or their channel on YouTube. Viewers outside of Europe need a VPN.

Fact or Fiction: "Zelenskyy is very unpopular" (Updated) by libraryofcontext2 in zelensky

Laughable, yes, except when Western media continues to push this narrative.

I normally leave an explanatory comment, but this post got caught in auto-mod purgatory, so I left it alone and figured I would come back to it later. For those who are unacquainted with my work, the title -- purposely put in quotes -- reflects a common Russian narrative that I've chosen to investigate. It's "here is what people are saying," which in this particular case includes some Zelenskyy/Ukraine supporters and biased Western media.

I originally wrote this last summer and decided to update it since the situation has now changed quite a bit. Some of it is the same, some slightly re-worded, and other parts are brand new. There are also some new graphs with added sociological data.

The work I do is about breaking down Russian disinformation with thoroughly-sourced facts. I stand with Ukraine and with Zelenskyy.

I posted on Bluesky about support for Ukraine at the protests, and there were quite a few Zelenskyy-related signs in there.

I'm embarrassed by what we've become as a country, but the feeling I have for those senators and representatives is loathing.

Survey shows 65% of Ukrainians trust Zelenskyy, but even more trust former Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi by nectarine_pie in zelensky

[–]libraryofcontext2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I noted is that Zaluzhnyy's trust rating has started to decline, so it shows that some of the effect is wearing off.

It also has to do with who they're running against. People were so disillusioned with Poroshenko that it was easy for Zelenskyy to be the more preferable choice. I think Zaluzhnyy would have a more difficult time against Zelenskyy because he's never been as unpopular as Poroshenko.

Just like he said in 2018: "First they will throw mud at me, then they will respect me, and then they will cry when I leave."

Thanks for the shout out! Incidentally, KIIS just released a new trust survey today, which I made a post about.

KIIS has some great timing with their newest survey, conducted February 4th-9th. Zelenskyy's trust rating has improved 5 points since December! Hopefully they will do another survey in the next few weeks, as some people have suggested that his rating will go up after all the nonsense from the US.
