Presidential Election: Prez poll, little change


Yanukovych would have received 28.5% of the vote if the election had been held on December 20 while Yuschenko would have mustered a mere 3.5%, according to the returns of a December 17-22 survey by political sociology company FOM-Ukraine released at a news conference at Interfax-Ukraine on Monday.

Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who is also running, would have won 14.4% of votes.
From Interfax-Ukraine (emphasis mine), Yanukovych remains front-runner, while Tymoshenko seems to be losing support among voters. A poll from November had her at 25%. Here's the breakdown of the FOM-Ukraine poll. 

  • Yanukovych--28.5%
  • Tymoshenko--14.4%
  • Sergiy Tigipko--6%
  • Arseniy Yatseniuk--6%
  • Petro Symonenko--4.8%
  • Yushchenko--3.5%
  • Volodymyr Lytvyn--3.2%
  • 15.6%--Undecided
  • 5.9%--Not voting
  • 8.5%--vote against all

Assuming there is a second round, how many voters will back Tymoshenko? Can she gain enough to offset Yanukovych's lead?
