APPROVAL RATINGS

This survey was carried out 22–24 May, 2020 with a representative sample of the Russian population. The sample comprised 1623 people age 18 or older. The survey was conducted by means of computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) through random digit dialing (RDD) of mobile and landlines. The statistical error of these studies does not exceed 2.4%. The distribution of answers is presented as a percentage of the total number of respondents.

Please note that in April 2020, research methodology changed significantly and comparing the results of surveys conducted face-to-face (personal interview) and those conducted over the phone may be done conditionally, given the changes in responses received. For more details, see the  explanation by Lev Gudkov.
