Russians' Support for Putin's War Hits All-Time Low as Election Looms
Newsweek ^ | Sept. 8, 2023 | Isabel van Brugen

Just 38 percent of respondents "definitely" support the actions of Russia's Armed Forces in Ukraine, the survey by independent pollster Levada Center conducted late August found...

The results come as Russia's 2024 presidential election looms, scheduled to be held on March 17 next year. Putin is expected to soon announce his bid for a sixth overall presidential term. Per constitutional changes made prior to the war in Ukraine, Putin may remain in power until 2036.

Last month, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying that Russia's presidential election is "not really democracy" and forecasted a 90 percent victory for Putin next year...

After his remarks, Peskov wasn't seen in the public eye for three weeks, despite typically holding daily press briefings and providing comment to the media.

State run media cited Peskov as saying that his remarks had been misinterpreted and misreported...

"They have “Elections”. Kinda like what the democrats want for us."

When Democrats say they want to "preserve democracy", they mean "democratic" in the same sense as "Democratic People's Republics", meaning single-party, top down rule, you do what they say and be happy about it.

Leveda Center, the pollster, is a parallel clone of Moscow Times — a much quoted in the West organization with zero evidence of accuracy.

Leveda Center was declared to be a foreign agent in 2016, performing tasks intended to oppose Russia’s government.

There is no evidence of a loss of support for Putin, but maybe the MOST IMPORTANT thing for people to understand is if Putin were to lose power, the replacement would be about 8X more hardline. The criticism of Putin is nearly all from people who want Russia to do more than a 300K mobilization out of the 25 million troops in the Reserves.

So the anti Putin folks on FR would seem to want a more crushing victory of Russia over Ukraine.

And Putin snubbed Tucker Carlson so Tucker had to interview Larry Sinclair to take Putin’s place on Twitter. Things are not going well for the Putin loyalists. Tucker has morphed into Geraldo and Jerry Springer.

again - if Putin is so popular, why does he never go out to meet that approving public, and why does he need so many bodyguards those rare times he does?

IF he’s really as popular as you claim?

it doesn’t add up ...

most Russians don’t care about Ukraine and are gaining nothing from this war,
————-
Have you been to Russia? No, I worked there three years and still have friends…..guess what? …Take Odesa, defeat the West, Kherson is ours, they laugh at NATO and senile Joes sanctions( and your senile leader Joe) ….and the most important - they are UNITED, not fracturing into an immoral, divided nation like America.

RESOLVE, UNITED, PROUD…..Putin is much like Trump, takes care of his people.
Let those facts sink in.

I thought the boss here told these folks to stop calling people names. I guess Zelensky’s kids think the rules only apply to other people.

You are so consumed with hatred for Russia that you have aligned with the most evil empire on earth.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/14/massachusetts-bars-couple-from-foster-care-over-christian-worldview/

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/03/18/canadian-man-jailed-after-misgendering-his-daughter/

They are the most evil because they not only do these things to their own population, but also as an Imperial, Crusading Regime for Woke, they attempt to impose this on every unwilling nation on earth !

Fortunately, the days of the Woke Regime are short.

Decisions decades ago to do de-industrialization and off-shoring have left the West with an inadequate industrial base to militarily enslave the world.

In addition, they aborted the children that would have filled out the ranks of their armies.

And they have so infantalized, feminized and fagified their gen Z populations that the remaining males are mostly useless for military service.

Looking back, I saw this stuff and knew it was evil and wrong.

But the Lord knew better, and he gave the evil elites of the West over to do these things for His own purposes.

I looked, nope, the story wasn’t about cancer or the ruble. The story is either fake or you change the subject. Depending on the side you’re on.
