Zelenskyy and Zaluzhnyi lead tight presidential survey as Fedorov takes third place
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would secure 22.3% of the vote among decided voters who intend to participate, leading the latest presidential poll conducted by the SOCIS Social and Marketing Research Center, while former DM Mykhailo Fedorov entered the top three contenders.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy leads Ukraine's presidential race, commanding 22.3% of decided voters' support, according to a recent SOCIS Social and Marketing Research Center survey. Former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov closely follows in third place with 13.1%, while Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's Ambassador to the United Kingdom and former Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, secures second place with 21.4% of the vote.
Other contenders include Kyrylo Budanov, who heads the Presidential Office with 8.3%, and Petro Poroshenko, leader of the European Solidarity Party, with 6.1% support. In a broader ranking, Zelenskyy still leads with 17.8%, followed by Zaluzhnyi at 17.1%, and Fedorov at 10.5%. Despite rumors of a potential political alliance between Zelenskyy and Zaluzhnyi, Zaluzhnyi's media advisor, Oksana Torop, denied these claims, stating that their recent meeting focused solely on Ukraine-UK cooperation and international support for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Constitution originally set presidential elections for March 31, 2024, but their postponement due to wartime circumstances has been confirmed by Zelenskyy himself.
