Public opinion of Ukraine on the 28th year of independence of the state
A nationwide public opinion poll was conducted by Kiev International Institute of sociology by order the Ilko Kucheriv “Democratic Initiatives” Foundation in collaboration with the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology on August 8-20, 2019. The survey was conducted in 103 settlements (PSUs) in all oblasts of Ukraine except for the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. In the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the polls were conducted only in the territories controlled by Ukraine. A total of 2040 respondents were interviewed, those polled represent the adult population of Ukraine (over 18 years) by their characteristics. The sampling error does not exceed 2.3%.
The poll is financially supported by the International Renaissance Foundation. Some questions were included by the request of the Center for Political and Legal Reforms.
To compare changes in public opinion, the results of surveys conducted at different times by the DI Foundation together with its partners - the Razumkov Center and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, as well as some monitoring data of the Institute of Sociology of NAS of Ukraine, are included.
- If the independence referendum had been held in August 2019, the overwhelming majority of the referendum participants (89%) would have supported the independence. Such a high index was observed only in the poll of 1991 that was conducted on the eve of the referendum.
-
For the vast majority of citizens (68%), Ukraine's Independence Day is a national holiday, for 23% of them it is just a day off, and only 4% of the Ukrainians consider this day to be a historic mistake. Independence Day is widely regarded as a national holiday in the Central (77%) and Western (75%) regions, somewhat less — in the South (58%) and the East (60%).
-
Just over half of the citizens (53%) answered that the Independence Day celebrations on August 24 are related to the Verkhovna Rada's adoption of the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine. The rest associated this date with either the independence referendum (22%) or the Verkhovna Rada's adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine (11%), and 14.5% were unable to give a definite answer.
-
Regarding the years of independence, reflecting on whether the things were rather positive or negative over the years, 26% of the Ukrainians believe these years were rather positive, 23% — that they were negative, and the majority (46%) thinks that things were equally positive and negative. At the same time, compared to 2011, these estimates are significantly more positive: 31% of respondents back then said that things were more of a negative, and only 13.5% said that they were rather positive.
An important feature of the socio-political situation in Ukraine in the 28th year of independence is a significant increase in optimistic attitudes and beliefs in a better future.
- In August 2019, for the first time since the monitoring has begun (since 2004), half of the citizens believe that matters in Ukraine are moving in the right direction (23% have the opposite opinion and 26% have not decided yet). A positive assessment of the development of the events in Ukraine prevails in all regions and age groups, and the most optimistic estimates are in the Western region (63%) and in the youth group of those who are under 30 (71%). For comparison, in December 2018, only 18% considered the course of development to be correct and 70% believed it was incorrect. Relatively positive evaluations were detected usually after the presidential elections: in June 2005 (43% of citizens rated the course as correct, and 31% — as incorrect) and in April 2010 (35% and 34%, respectively).
- After the elections, citizens' belief that Ukraine is capable of overcoming existing problems and difficulties over the next few years has increased significantly: in the previous years, from 2015 to 2018, there were 17-22% of such “optimists”, and in August 2019 they were 48% already, and only 8% do not believe that Ukraine is capable of this. Belief in the prospects of Ukraine to overcome the difficulties prevails in all regions and among citizens of all ages, it is especially strong among young people under 30 (62%).
- August 2019 stands out with a much more favorable assessment of the political situation. For the first time, 31% of citizens identified the situation as positive enough — either favorable (5.5%) or calm (26%). There are particularly positive attitudes among young people: 9% of them consider the current political situation to be favorable, and another 43% think it is calm. In 2015–2018, positive estimates were on the level of 4–10%. The political situation was characterized as critical and explosive by 37% of citizens in 2015, by 30% in 2016, by 30% in 2017, by 25% in 2018 and by only 8% in 2019. At the same time, the assessment of the situation in Ukraine as tense (52-64%) prevails through all these years.
- After the elections, the positive feelings of the Ukrainians in the perception of the future of Ukraine have increased significantly: 56% feel hopeful, optimism has come in second place (36%) and it is the highest index through the whole period of the measurements (since 2005). There has been a significant decrease in anxiety: from 33% in December 2018 to 18% in August 2019. The hope for the future of Ukraine prevails among citizens of all regions (52-63%) and age groups (54-57%). People in the Central (44.5%) and Western (39%) regions are most optimistic, while as to age groups, the most optimistic people are those under 30 (47%) and those who are 30-44 years (41%).
- The radical changes have happened in the attitude to NATO in 2014. While in April 2012, only 13% of citizens saw NATO as the best security option, with 31% of the Ukrainians opting for a military alliance with Russia and the CIS countries and another 31% favoring non-aligned status, then since 2014, public opinion has changed radically. In the next few years, NATO membership was supported by 40-46% of citizens, a military alliance with Russia and other CIS countries — by 5-7%, while the number of supporters of non-aligned status of Ukraine remained at the level of 21-28%. However, in the last survey in August 2019 this percentage increased significantly — up to 36%. NATO membership in the August poll was supported by 41% of the Ukrainians.
- Attitude towards Ukraine's accession to NATO differs by the regions: people in the Western region are mostly positive about this prospect (66% support joining NATO, 17% are for non-aligned status), as well as citizens of the Central region (52.5% and 26%, respectively). Negative attitudes prevail in the Southern region (only 15% of citizens support NATO membership, 13% are for military alliance with Russia, and the majority (64%) are for non-aligned status) and in the Eastern region (24% are for NATO membership, 11% are for military union with Russia, the majority (42%) are for non-aligned status). There is a direct dependency on age distribution: Ukraine's membership in NATO is most supported as a guarantee of security by the youngest (54% in the 18-29 age group), and much less (22%) are for the non-aligned status. At the same time, only those Ukrainians who are over 60 years old prefer the non-aligned status: 31% of them support Ukraine's NATO membership and 40% are for non-aligned status.
- The poll contained a block of questions about the all-Ukrainian referendum — what citizens know about it, what its role is, etc. The results showed that citizens` knowledge of these issues is extremely unsatisfactory and, therefore, significant educational work is needed to promote citizens' civic awareness.
- The increase in trust in the newly elected authorities has changed the opinion of the citizens about those key actors who should be trusted to purge the judiciary of dishonest judges. While in May 2018, citizens delegated the right to select judges primarily to the representatives of the public (41%), experts from Western countries (34%) and lawyers who have not worked as judges (31%), and citizens did not trust the President (5%) and the Verkhovna Rada (5%); then now, on the contrary, almost half of the population is ready to entrust the case of court renewal to the newly elected President (49%), the newly elected Verkhovna Rada (28%) and, secondarily, to experts from Western countries (23%), lawyers who have not worked as judges (20%), and representatives of the public (19%). But the judges themselves were not trusted in the cleansing of the judiciary (6.5%) before, so they are not trusted now (9.5%).
