Leaders: Approval rating appallingly low
If one wants to understand where Ukraine's leadership stands in comparison to other former Soviet countries, gallup.com has an article on it. According to Gallup, only 4% of Ukrainians approve of the job performance of its political leadership. Compare that to Moldova, 25%, or Georgia, 21%. More interestingly, Tymsohenko's approval rating is 20% and of course Yushchenko has 7% approval rating. Since the economic crisis began last year in Ukraine what little support remained for the government has dwindled away. Last year 25% of Ukrainians approved of the government's job performance according to Gallup. The gas crisis, internal political turmoil, banking and economic crisis have taken a severe toll on those in power. Something not lost on Yanukovych or Yatsenuik who hope to take advantage of the situation.
