PoliticsThe Economist: Unpublished poll puts Zelensky first and fired defense minister Fedorov third in hypothetical Ukrainian presidential race
An unpublished poll seen by The Economist puts Volodymyr Zelensky first in a hypothetical Ukrainian presidential race with 21% support. Former armed forces commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi follows with 18%, while fired defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov has 16% and ranks third. The poll predates Fedorov’s call for elections during the war, which Zelensky’s office dismissed as unrealistic.
