33.1% of respondents polled by Sotsinform on June 20 – July 10 in the Lviv oblast believe that Ukraine is gripped by a heavy political crisis, Sotsinform director Olexy Antypovych told ZIK July 21.

 

22.7% of the polled believe Ukraine is in chaos, against 7.2% who think that a normal political process is going on and 5.8% who think that the country is undergoing a radical change. Simultaneously, 15.9% of Lviv oblast residents have not seen any radical changes and 14.7% could not give any answer.

Among the nation’s leaders Yulia Tymoshenko is the most trusted one, with 68.2% and against 25.1% who distrust her. Speaker Arseny Yatseniuk also enjoys significant level of support, with 48.9% (35.8%), as well as Pres Yushchenko, with 43.4% against 48.1%. Yury Lutsenko is behind, with 35.3% against 51.9%, Vyacheslav Kyrylenko, with 28.3% against 50.9%, Volodymyr Lytvyn, with 13.2% against 72.6%, and Viktor Baloha, with 9.2% against 66%. Viktor Yanukovych lags way behind, with 6.5% against 85.5%.
