As if he cares about approval ratings.

He does care if they get too low. That’s why he hasn’t called for a mobilization and likely won’t in the future. He’s actually paranoid of getting disposed of. That’s why so many of Russia’s elite fell out of windows.



So, what, 91%?

No, according to the link in post it is 65.6%.



In 40 years his rating might fall to 50%! And then… then… hmm… nothing, I guess.

Wins 98% of the vote.


It must be pretty terrible to live in a country run by a horrible power-hungry fascist that most everybody hates. 😵‍💫


Are any of the reported polling numbers reliable? I’m not too sure who VTsIOM is, but if they’re state-owned, then I’m inclined to believe that anything they say is bullshit.
