The Batkivschyna Party is strengthening its leadership in the electoral sympathies of Ukrainians against the backdrop of a further decline in the rating of its main competitor - the ruling Party of Regions, according to a poll conducted by the Razumkov Center from Dec. 9 to Dec.16.

According to the survey, if the elections to the Verkhovna Rada were held in the near future, the Batkivschyna Party would get support from 15.8% of all respondents (or 21.4% of those who are planning to participate in parliamentary elections), the Party of Regions – 13.9% (18.5%), the Front for Change Party- 9.6% (12.7%), the Communist Party of Ukraine – 5.3% (5.7%), and Vitaliy Klychko’s UDAR Party – 5.1% (6.5%).

Some 3.6%, or 4.9% of those who intend to participate in the elections, would vote for the Svoboda Party, and 3.6% (4.6%) would support the Strong Ukraine Party.

A total of 2,008 respondents aged over 18 from all regions in Ukraine participated in the survey. The poll’s margin of error does not exceed 2.3%.
