MOSCOW, March 27 – RIA Novosti. Increased confidence rating of Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to factors like foreign and domestic – the ability to govern effectively, not only in the “fat” years, but in the crisis period, according to experts interviewed by RIA Novosti.
In this case, the general director of the Center for Political Information Alexei Mukhin believes that if Putin will continue to insist on reconfiguring the Russian economy as a key anti-corruption, it will not Russians assotsiatsiirovat president with big business, believe political scientists.
According to the survey FOM conducted in late March, Putin’s approval rating peaked in the last two years, to vote for him in the next elections are ready 75% of Russians. In second place in the electoral rating is the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky with 4% of the vote. Closes the three Gennady Zyuganov (3%), head of the Communist Party. Sociologists also found that 44% of Russians now have more confidence in the president. Those who, on the contrary, have lost confidence in him, only 8%. Putin’s work in his post positive view of 86% of the respondents, the opposite opinion – 7%.
According to a similar survey in March, “Levada Center”, the number of Russians who trust Putin, has grown in recent years, and in March this year was already 83%. According to “Levada” 72% of Russians “substantially” support the policy of the Russian president, and 49% believe that over the years in power, Putin managed to restore Russia’s status as a respected power.
The effect of the Crimea and cinema
President of the Center for Strategic Communications Dmitry Abzalov believes that such a high level of confidence in the head of state is now due not only to the effect of joining Crimea to Russia, but also foreign policy decisions and position in Ukraine.
“The foreign factor is extremely important for the Russian voters, and the ability to defend positions on the outer contour of the head of state is due to its perception of the general population,” – said Abzalov.
Effect on the rating of the president and had talks “Minsk -2 “in Ukraine, and the anniversary of joining the Crimea to the Russian Federation, which has become an important social factor association, and the upcoming 70th anniversary of the Victory, the analyst said.
In turn, political scientist Alexander Kon’kov sure that the growth rankings president in March had a key influence premiere of “Crimea – the path to the homeland”.
“Because of the film” The Crimea – the way home, “which broke all ratings and has been viewed by almost all the inhabitants of the Russian Federation, where the president spoke directly with the community and told how he made the decision. This sincerity, openness was adopted by all the figures and showed confidence and support “, – he said.
Alexander Klyukin expert believes that the current surge rating is linked, including, and with the entry of the Crimea to Russia. But Overall, the experts evaluates these high numbers as a result of the work of the president and his team in 15 years.
“These 15 years have not been in vain for any country, nor for Putin. To date, it is considered the most influential world leader … Putin will go down in history as the man prevent the collapse of the country, restored order, the authority of the country, “- he said.
15 years – and in sorrow and in joy
Political analyst Mukhin said that sociological centers of the “big three” (“Levada” and VTsIOM FOM) almost simultaneously record the growing political influence of Vladimir Putin.
“This is not surprising. The fact that Vladimir Putin – being as president, prime minister and then president again – probably meet the expectations of Russians, effectively ruling the country, not only in the so-called notorious “fat” years, but in the course of the crisis, “- said the expert reminding about the crisis of 2008-2009, when Putin was prime minister.
People tend to trust those who already have experience and established itself as an effective manager, said Mukhin. In this regard, the credibility of Russians Putin as an effective manager, especially during social and economic instability, it is justified, the expert added.
According to Kon’kova partly normalize domestic economic situation also had an impact on the rating.
” the crisis that existed in the winter, leveled, the ruble has stabilized, it also affects the rating of the head of state. Pressing economic problems go away from short-term agenda, which also goes to the rating “- he said. The expert also recalled the loud detention Sakhalin Governor – as part of an anti-corruption course the head of state and this event affected the growth rankings.
There are risks
The survey “Levada Center” indicates that more than 40% of respondents attracts energy and determination to the President, as many pay attention to his experience. However, 21% of respondents do not like the fact that Putin is associated with big business, while 19% of respondents regard the President pushes with corrupt politicians.
“With regard to the risks associated with Putin’s association with big business, I think that the consistent management of the fight against corruption will remove the problem with time. Therefore, if he have the political will and will continue to insist on the reconfiguration of the Russian economy in this way, it will contribute to the removal of other risks, “- says Mukhin.
According to him, there are also serious risks associated with the fact that the protest groups that are trying to create political capital is on anti-Putin rhetoric remain “in the marginal phase of development” because of the high ratings of the president.
“It will lead to the fact that these protest groups will be used to extraordinary measures, that is, try to make some semblance of revolution. Although, judging by the mood of Russians, this success would not have, “- said Mukhin.
