The number of Putin's supporters in major cities has declined markedly Photo: Maksim Stulov / Vedomosti An unexpected trend was revealed by sociologists in cities with a population of over one million people, where a quarter of voters live. According to VTsIOM's data published last week, the rating of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin in Moscow and St. Petersburg for the month fell by more than 12 percentage points - from 69.7% on January 10 to 57.1% on February 18. In other cities with a million population, the fall of the rating by the same 12 percentage points happened before the New Year, then it grew by only 2 percentage points. Similar trends in cities with a population of 100,000 to 500,000 people and up to 100,000 people, and the president's rating remains stable only in cities with 500,000-950,000 inhabitants and in the countryside. At the same time in large cities, the number of those who did not decide on the choice increased and the rating of the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Pavel Grudinin grew.
