Level of trust in politicians, electoral rating and attitude to certain initiatives / events: January 2021

The press release was prepared by Anton Hrushetskyi, Deputy Director of KIIS

 

From January 27 to February 1, 2021, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted an all-Ukrainian public opinion poll. By the method of personal interview using tablets (CAPI), 1205 respondents living in 86 settlements of all regions of Ukraine (except the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) were interviewed in a 3-stage stochastic sample with quota selection at the last stage, which is representative of the population of Ukraine aged 18 and older.

In Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, the survey was conducted only in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.

Statistical sampling error (with a probability of 0.95 and without taking into account the design effect) does not exceed: 2.9% - for indicators close to 50%, 2.5% - for indicators close to 25%, 1.9% - for indicators close to 12%, 1.3% - for indicators close to 5%.

To assess the dynamics of moods, the most correct is to compare the results with the previous KIIS survey conducted according to a similar methodology in December 2020 (Level of trust in politicians and electoral rating: December 2020, https://kiis.com.ua/?lang=ukr&cat=reports&id=992&page=2). Both surveys were conducted by the same method (personal interviews using tablets), with the same approaches to the formation and size of the sample, according to a close questionnaire, including with almost identical lists of presidential candidatesand parties in the elections to the Verkhovna Rada and with the same order of questions in the questionnaire. The similarity of the methodologies of both surveys provides the most accurate comparison.

The level of trust in Ukrainian politicians

Respondents were asked a question during the survey "I will take turns reading the names of politicians in alphabetical order. And you say how much you trust this politician: you completely trust, rather trust, rather do not trust, do not trust at all. If you don't know the name of the politician, please let us know.".

In general, the percentage of those who do not trust all politicians is higher than the percentage of those who trust, except for I. Smeshko (balance is + 3.7%) and D. Razumkov (+ 2.1%), for whom the percentages of those trust and those who do not trust are about the same. Most respondents trust V. Klychko (37.5% trust and 51.8% do not trust, the balance of trust and distrust is -14.3%), V. Zelenskyi (35.6% against 59.6%, balance - -24%), V. Hroisman (30.9% against 54.2%, balance – -23.3%), Yu. Boiko (28.9% against 48.4%, balance – -19.5%), S. Prytula (27.3% against 39.1%, balance – -11.8%), D. Razumkov (26.6% against 28.6%, balance – -2.1%), Yu. Tymoshenko (26.2% against 69%, balance – -42.8%), O. Liashko (25% against 68.8%, balance – -43.8%), P. Poroshenko (22.7% against 74.4%, balance – -51.7%) and I. Smeshko (22.3% against 18.7%, balance – +3.7%).  Level of trust in other politicians is below 20%.
