azatutyun.am According to the data from the "Public Opinion" Foundation (ФОМ), the approval rating of Russian President Vladimir Putin has decreased by five percent over the past week.
66 percent of respondents reported that they approve of Putin's activities. This is the lowest figure since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 (a week before the invasion, this figure was 64 percent, and in recent years it typically fluctuated between 75–80 percent).
The level of trust in Putin has also decreased, falling from 69 to 67 percent in one week. 20 percent of respondents stated that they do not trust Putin.
The "Public Opinion" Foundation is considered an organization associated with the Russian authorities.
Another sociological service, ВЦИОМ, which is also regarded as an organization linked to the Russian authorities, has also recorded a decline in Putin's rating, although not as sharply.
According to ВЦИОМ, 65.1 percent of respondents approve of Putin's activities (0.9 percentage points lower than a week ago), while 71 percent trust him (a decrease of 1.3 percentage points).
The trends of declining ratings for Putin in these organizations' surveys began to be observed as early as spring. Commentators have linked this to the restrictions on the internet in Russia.
