If presidential elections were held in late May this year, Ukrainian population at the age of 18 years and older– 13,6% would vote for Petr Poroshenko, 7,2% - for Yulia Tymoshenko, 4,2% - for Oleg Lyashko, 3,8% - for Andrei Sadovoy, 2,8% - for Anatoliy Gritsenko, 1,7% - for Dmitry Yarosh, 1,6% - for Sergey Tigipko, 1,5% - for Yuriy Boiko, 1,2% - for Oleg Tyagnibok, for other candidates – 4.9%, 7,8%  - planned to cross out all candidates or to spoil a voting ballot, 24,8% - decided not to vote, and 25% – have not decided for whom to vote.

The study showed that 68% of Ukrainians didn’t plan to take a rest (accordance to survey data of May, 2015). This number increased in comparison with 2014 (there ewe62%). The number of those who are not able to go somewhere is 24%. There were 17% in 2014, the difference is statistically significant.

Little more than a half of the Ukrainian population - 52% consider that the Russian language should be the second official language only in those territories where the most people support this idea. The idea that the Russian language should be struck off the formal communication and the idea that the Russian language should be the second official language in Ukraine support approximately equal proportion of the respondents - 21% and 19% respectively.

In case of elections, tree parliamentary parties (Petro Poroshenko Bloc, Samopomich and Batkivschyna) could get the most increase, while “Narodnyi front” is at the biggest risk of losing support.

Petro Poroshenko, Yulia Tymoshenko and Andriy Sadovyi are the leaders of presidential rating.

If to compare with the previous parliamentary election, Batkivschyna nearly doubled their support, and Samopomich raised popularity by one third.

People in Ukraine generally have negative expectations for the next twelve month, but are cautiously optimistic for a long term period.

It is impossible to conduct counterpropaganda without estimation of its effectiveness. The efficiency of counterpropaganda can be measured as the reduction of Russian propaganda efficiency per unit of expenses. That is why the index of Russian propaganda efficiency is needed.

Index of Russian propaganda efficiency, which we offer, can become a tool for evaluation of Ukraine’s counterpropaganda measures in different regions and among different social groups.
