According to a survey of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains the most trusted politician in Ukraine. In May 2025, he was trusted by 74% of citizens, which is 10% more than in February last year.
The study also revealed a significant reduction in the confidence in other public persons, including some politicians who have previously had significant support.
To whom they trust the most
In addition to Vladimir Zelensky, only TV presenter Sergey Pritula has a positive balance of trust - 50% of Ukrainians trust him, 38%. Nevertheless, the shelter fell: in February 2024 he was entrusted with 61%, and the balance of trust was +28%. Now - only +12%.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko retains a stable, albeit negative balance: 43% of trust, 47% of distrust (balance -4%).
Falling ratings
The trust in Petro Poroshenko was significantly asked -from 31%to 25%, with distrust increased to 70%, which gives it one of the worst balances --45%.
Yulia Tymoshenko trust only 14%, do not trust -80%(balance -66%).
The worst figures have:
-
Alexey Arestovich -7% trust, 79% distrust, balance -72%
-
Yuriy Boyko -7% trust, 72% distrust, balance -65%
-
Yevgeny Murayev -6% of trust, 47% distrust, balance -41%, at the same time 43% do not know who he is.
Who loses recognition
It is interesting that the survey increased the proportion of those who do not know Dmitry Razumkov - from 27% to 34%. The trust in it fell from 35%to 27%, and the balance of the positive (+2%) became negative (-5%).
Also, some of the respondents stopped identifying Arestovich - such became 10%, although a year ago was only 4%.
Who was not in the rating
There is no former Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, who previously included many sociological centers in similar surveys.
Survey methodology
The survey was conducted from May 2 to May 12, 2025 among 1010 respondents throughout Ukraine, except for the occupied areas. The error does not exceed ± 3.4%.
The general trend shows that the public support of Zelensky is increasing, while trusting or holding at low levels, even among traditional pre -war leaders, is increasing at the same time.
