If the parliamentary elections took place in September, six political parties would have a chance to overcome the threshold.
These data of the all-Ukrainian poll were aired at a press conference at Ukrinform by Director of the Institute of Social and Political Psychology of the Science Academy of Ukraine Mykola Sliusarevsky, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“As of today, according to results of the social survey, six political parties would have real chances to overcome a 5% threshold at the elections to the Verkhovna Rada: Bloc of Petro Poroshenko – 31.5% of the active electorate, which determined its choice; Radical Party of Oleh Liashko – 12.7%; People’s Front – 8.1%; the all-Ukrainian Association Batkivshchyna – 7.9%; Civil Position – 6.6%; Strong Ukraine – 6.3%,” Sliusarevsky noted.
According to him, Bloc of Petro Poroshenko leads in all regions of Ukraine. In addition, the
prevailing majority of the interviewed (over 68%) supports decisions of the President to this or other extent to dissolve the parliament and to call the preterm elections.
As a whole, Ukrainians positively estimate activities of the President, the expert says.
“Decisions and actions of head of state Petro Poroshenko are considered to be more or less adequate to development of the situation in the country by about 47% of respondents… At the same time, from the received data it comes that a positive estimate of the President’s activity did not hamper critical estimation of his personnel appointments,” Sliusarevsky noted.
In particular, appointments to positions of Defense Minister, Foreign Minister, Prosecutor General, NBU governor, etc. Only 28.9% of the interviewed are content with these appointments to this or other extent, and another 26.2% of respondents were undecided.
A survey was held September 5-12, 2014, in all regions of Ukraine, except for Crimea, the city of Sevastopol and Donbas settlements, captured by terrorists.
