Commenting on this rating,
NISS director Yuriy Ruban has concluded that 'Yanukovych's rating is
slightly rising'. "The rating of Tymoshenko has been actually sleeping
for a long time," he said. Ruban called 'a great phenomenon' the third
spot for incumbent President Yushchenko.
A total of 39.6% of pollees
said they already know a politician 'able to be a good head of state
and they will vote only for him'. At the same time, 20.8% of
respondents said there is no candidate who could suit them and they
will vote based on the principle 'the best of the worst'.
The opinion poll was conducted in all Ukrainian regions, Crimea and Kyiv with 2,010 respondents. The Voting Day is January 17, 2010.
