Ukraine Poll: Zelenskyy Would Lose Election if He Didn't Cancel It Due to War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would lose an election to Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief he recently fired, according to a poll.

A survey by the Kyiv-based firm SOCIS conducted Feb. 22-March 1 asked 3,000 Ukrainians how they would vote in a hypothetical ballot, Newsweek reported.

If an election were held, 41% of respondents would have backed Gen. Zaluzhnyi in the first round, compared with 23.7% for Zelenskyy. The margin of error was 2.1 percentage points.

Zelenskyy fired Gen. Zaluzhnyi from his post in February, following months of speculation about a rift between the pair. He was replaced by the commander of Ukrainian Land Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.

Gen. Zaluzhnyi is a popular general trusted by Ukrainian soldiers and the public and has been a national hero, the BBC reported.

I’m sure team Biden and his communist crew are thinking the same thing for the USA....WW3 is around the corner and with that, suspension of elections.

Cancelling elections because you’re going to lose is a sign of low IQ.

Our own election this November is currently targeted by the same mechanism on behalf of the democrats and other globalists.

Nuland may be a very messy loose end. What university has she been golden parachuted right into for some no-show professor gig?

My money is on Yale, Harvard, or UC Berkeley. $500K per anum, speaking fees, consulting fees, bag-man commissions.

Now let's go after Powers and Sullivan.

Is there some rule or mechanism in place that dictates a suspension/cancellation of elections if a war is going on that the US is involved in? Were the 1864 national (including Presidential) even delayed due to the US War of the Northern Aggression going on at the time? I realize from history that they weren’t entirely cancelled, but I wonder if there was talk of doing so then and how seriously it might be entertained today?

No. The only way to do that is to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution.

In 1968 after the violence at the Democrat Convention in Chicago, Lyndon Johnson faced the possibility that the antiwar youth and Black Panthers might join forces, and the 1968 election might be held under conditions of terrorism or even urban guerilla warfare. He asked the NSC to war-game scenarios wherein the election could be delayed until domestic tranquility was restored. The NSC gave LBJ a menu of options, and Johnson chose the one where he would declare martial law and set the Constitution aside. Fortunately, the Panthers saw the antiwar youth as amateurs and had nothing to do with them. We dodged that bullet.

This became public after Nixon's resignation when the press ran stories on the "White House horrors." It was a two-day story.

Election day is set by the states, the date the electoral college meets is set by Congress, and Congress can override the states as to the date of elections for federal office, thus a single election day since the mid 19th century. Congress could change the election date but the terms of elected Federal officials end, per the Constitution, at the end of their term. So though you could put off the election I suppose, you’d have no one running the Executive Branch and Congress as their terms expire so the Constitution would then be in the trash.

Somehow, I don’t think either party dares put the US Constitution in the trash yet, but I’ve been wrong before.

The loser Zelensky was elected as the peace candidate. He did the opposite after getting in office. Of course he would lose after killing off a generation of young Ukrainians
