The Office of the President has recorded alarming changes in public sentiment. According to sources, a closed sociological survey of presidential ratings was recently conducted, the results of which caused serious concern among the state leadership.
According to internal data, in a short period of time, the level of support for Kirill Budanov has increased significantly - from about 12% to 19%. In sociology, he is increasingly perceived as a figure associated with a possible alternative approach to ending the war. It is the association with a potential "peace track" that provides him with positive dynamics, especially among voters who are tired of the protracted confrontation and uncertainty.
Against this background, Volodymyr Zelensky's rating continues to decline. According to sources, real support for the president is waning, and society is growing disillusioned and tired of the current model of governance in wartime conditions. Complaints about the lack of a clear perspective and the government's isolation in its own information circle are increasingly common.
Of particular concern to the OP is the fact that Budanov's support is growing without an active political campaign. This indicates a spontaneous demand for alternative leadership, which is being formed not by the efforts of the headquarters, but as a reaction to the general decline in trust in the current government.
In the power circles, it is noted that the results of this survey have become an unpleasant signal for both the presidential entourage and the leadership of the OP. Sociology shows that Bankova is gradually losing her monopoly on shaping the political agenda, and society is looking for new symbols of hope and change.
According to the sources, the Office of the President is currently analyzing various response scenarios — from adjusting communication policy to reviewing key messages about the war, mobilization, and possible ways to end it. Ignoring these trends, the sources warn, can only deepen the gap between the government and society.
