On July 17, the Verkhovna Rada appointed the new Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Sviridenko.
The Kyiv International Institute of Sociology conducted a survey to evaluate awareness of it among the population as a whole. This was reported by the Kiis press service.
During the survey, an experiment was conducted:
- Half of the respondents asked the standard question about what you trust or trust Yulia Sviridenko? ” -there is no they indicated that she is a prime minister;
- The second half of the respondents initially raised the question “recently in the Ukrainian government were changes, and, in particular, Yulia Sviridenko became the new Prime Minister of Ukraine. How do you think this will affect the activities of the government? ”, And then another question:“ And how do you trust or do not trust Yulia Sviridenko-Prime Minister Ukraine? ” That is, in fact, the respondents were explained that Sviridenko is the new head of the government.
It was found that the level of trust changed, depending on whether the defendant said that Sviridenko was the prime minister:
- If they did not say, only 42% reply that they know her and are ready to express their opinion. Moreover, more than those who express their distrust are 19% against 11% that trust (and 13% have an indefinite attitude);
- If you mention her position, 76% already reply that they know her and express their opinion. And in this case, there are more than those who trust – 31% versus 26%, which do not trust.
If in both cases to list the level of trust only among those who know Yu. Sviridenko, then in the first case (when we do not say that it is a prime minister), the ratio of trust and distrust amounted to 25% to 45% (the remaining 30% is unclear). And in the second case, the ratio of trust and distrust will be 41% and 34% (and the remaining 25% have an indefinite attitude), ”says sociologists.
It can be assumed that when we do not tell the respondents that Yu. Sviridenko is a government leader, even among those 42%who supposedly know this, not everyone really understands what he is talking about – they add to Kim.
As for expectations from the new government, then:
- About half of the respondents (45%) believe that after the appointment of Sviridenko, the prime minister of the government will not change;
- Another 33% could not formulate their expectations;
- have positive expectations and believe that state activity will improve – by 18%;
- They have negative expectations and believe that the government will deteriorate – 4%.
Thus, the vast majority of Ukrainians (78%) currently have neither positive nor negative expectations from the Yu government. Sviridenko, – said in Kim.
