A dead horse

Robert Amsterdam's blog has a post on demonstrations against Yushchenko in Donetsk (naturally, its Yanukovoch's territory). One problem with the post's angle, it suggests that the president is still a strong or/and viable political leader. However, a recent poll indicates that voters wants the president to leave and as reported in other posts, his approval ratings are in the single digit range.  The first president of Ukraine also went public for Yushchenko's resignation.

Its unlikely that the president will step down unless some new variable pops out that may force him out of office. The president may be hoping that some gift of heaven will appear and weaken his opponents, like a bank collapse or major social unrest. Until that happens, he'll stay unpopular and under pressure to resign from the public and politicians.
