MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Eighty percent of Russians trust the actions of President Vladimir Putin, a poll by Russia's Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) showed on Friday.
FOM conducted a national survey from June 17 to 19 consisting of interviews with 1,500 respondents over the age of 18 from 53 Russian regions. The margin of error did not exceed 3.6%.
According to the poll, 80% of the respondents indicated that they trusted Putin, 12% did not and 8% were unsure. In comparison to a similar poll conducted in June 2021, the figures were as following: 57%, 32% and 11%, respectively. These results were consistent until late February 2022, when Putin's confidence rating began to continuously grow.
The survey also demonstrated that 81% of the respondents approved the president's actions, while 8% expressed the opposite opinion and 11% were unsure. Therefore Putin's approval rating has grown by about a fifth (from 62%) since June 2021.
