Putin’s approval rating is falling again: what’s the reason?

The Russian dictator's approval rating is falling again, even despite a change in the polling methodology.

This is evidenced by the results of a poll conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), according to Censor.NET.

What preceded it?

It was previously reported that Russian dictator Putin’s approval rating had reached its lowest level since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and continues to decline.

Later, the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), which publishes Putin’s approval rating weekly, did not release the poll results on its website.

It later emerged that Russia had changed its polling methodology: surveyors now visit people directly at home. At that point, the dictator’s approval rating immediately rose.
