Russians' Trust In Putin Has Plummeted

The changes took place in just one week.

Trust in Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin has plummeted once again among Russians amid recent events. According to a VTsIOM poll, from November 2 to 8, 75.1% of respondents trusted Putin, down from 77.5% a week earlier.

As reported by Dialog.UA, this is the largest weekly decline since mid-August, when the figure fell by 2.5 percentage points. At the same time, the approval rating for the Russian Federation’s top politician’s performance fell by 0.2 percentage points to 71.4%.

The ratings for Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin also declined. Approval of his work fell by 3.1 percentage points to 43.1%, while his trust rating dropped by 2.1 percentage points to 53.5%. The decline in ratings comes amid new attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian regions.

In the latest FOM poll, 7% of respondents cited the shelling of Russian territories as one of the most memorable events of the week. Responses mentioned attacks on St. Petersburg, Omsk, Bryansk, and Kaluga, as well as strikes on the Kursk and Oryol regions.

In mid-August, when VTsIOM recorded a comparable drop in trust in Putin, the Ukrainian military was actively attacking Russian oil refineries and marketplace warehouses.
