Poll: Zelensky would win the first round of elections, but is not the favorite in the second.
A recent survey indicates that in a hypothetical second round of presidential elections in Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi would receive 36.4% of the votes, while incumbent President Volodymyr Zelensky would garner 25.3%. In the first round, Zelensky leads with 18%, followed by Zaluzhnyi at 10.5% and former President Petro Poroshenko at 9.6%. The survey also highlights public awareness of recent corruption scandals, with 91.4% of respondents familiar with the "Cartagena" operation. Many Ukrainians attribute corruption during wartime to the government and ministers, with 59.1% believing Zelensky is linked to high-level corruption. The study was conducted online with 1,000 participants and has a margin of error of 3.1%.
