Electoral moods of the population about the parliamentary and the presidential elections, December 2016
In a period of December 3-12 of 2016, Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) has conducted its own public opinion poll. Data were collected from 2040 respondents living in 110 settlements (PSU) in all regions of Ukraine (except for AR of Crimea) with the method of personal interviewing. The sample was stochastic and 4-staged with quota selection on the last stage, the sample is representative of the population of Ukraine aged 18 and above.
In Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts (regions) survey was conducted only in the territories that are controlled by the Ukrainian government. In this survey, the sample covered only the controlled part of Donbas in the same proportion as it was for Donbas voters in the last parliamentary elections (October 2014) according to the data of CEC.
The statistical sample error (with a probability of 0.95 and design–effect of 1.5) does not exceed: 3.3% for indicators close to 50%, 2.8% – for indicators close to 25%, 2.0% – for indicators close to 10%, 1.4% – for indicators close to 5%.
Dear journalists! Please note the following when interpreting these studies:
1) Questions about the ratings were at the beginning of the questionnaire, so that other questions could not influence them.
2) Ratings are comparable and depend on the assessment list. The very list of parties and candidates is a hypothesis to some extent, there is no "correct" list since the election campaign has not begun and the registration has not ended.
In this survey:
- list of parties was created by the KIIS employees
- list of candidates for the presidential elections was proposed by Roman Shraik
3) KIIS standard is the publication of ratings in relation to all respondents, and in relation to those who plan to come and decided whom to vote for ( "imitation of the elections"), more details:

Major results:
-
If the parliamentary elections had been held in the beginning of December, most likely the representatives of six political forces would have entered the Parliament: “Batkivshchyna” (18% among those who will vote and decided with the choice), “Opozytsiynyi block” (12%), “Block Petra Poroshenko” (12%), party “Za jyttia” (10%), Radical party of O.Liashko (10%), “Samopomich” (8%). On the edge of entry there is a party “Svoboda” (5%), party “Hromadianska pozytsia” (4.8%) also holds a chance to enter the parliament.
-
If the presidential elections had been held in the beginning of December, then none of the candidates, presented to the respondents, would have received the sufficient amount of votes for being elected in the first round.
-
Most likely, Yulia Tymoshenko and Petro Poroshenko would have participated in the second round of such elections.
Electoral intentions of the population about the elections to Verkhovna Rada
If the elections to Verkhovna Rada had been held in the middle of December, then out of all citizens of Ukraine aged 18 and above:
-
8.6% would have voted for “All-Ukrainian union Batkivshchyna”;
-
5.7% – for the party “Opozytsiynyi block”;
-
5.6% – for the party “Block Petra Poroshenka”;
-
4.9% – for the party “Za jyttia”;
-
4.6% – for the Radical party of O.Liashko,
-
3.6% – for the party “Obiednannia Samopomich”;
-
2.3% – for the party “All-Ukrainian union “Svoboda”;
-
2.3% – for the party “Hromadianska pozytsia”;
-
1.9% – for the party “Rukh novyh syl”;
-
7.5% for other parties in total;
-
7.2% would have crossed out all the parties, spoilt the ballot;
-
21.9% decided not to participate in voting,
-
24% have not decided yet whom to vote for.
Thus, if those who have not decided whom to vote for yet had not, as usual, come to the elections, about 47% of all voters would have participated, and their votes would have distributed as follows (actually these are the closest indexes to the possible outcomes of the elections if it had been held in mid-December):
-
18.3% would have voted for “All-Ukrainian union Batkivshchyna”;
-
12.2% – for the party “Opozytsiynyi block”;
-
11.9% – for the party “Block Petra Poroshenka”;
-
10.4% – for the party “Za jyttia”;
-
9.8% – for the Radical party of O.Liashko,
-
7.6% – for the party “Obiednannia Samopomich”;
-
5% – fortheparty“All-Ukrainian union “Svoboda”;
-
4.8% – for the party “Hromadianska pozytsia”;
-
4.1% – for the party “Rukh novyh syl” (Saakashvili);
-
16% for other parties in total.
