Zelensky’s presidential reelection chances fading – poll

"Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky could face defeat in a hypothetical presidential election, not only to former armed forces commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny, but also to military
intelligence chief Kirill Budanov, according to a new opinion poll published Monday.

The survey, conducted by the Kiev-based pollster RATE1 among 1,200 respondents in early October, found that Zelensky’s political viability continues to wane.
In a head-to-head second round between Zelensky and Zaluzhny, 42.6% of voters said they would back the retired general, who is now serving as Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, while only 26.3% would support the incumbent leader.
In another scenario, pitting Zelensky against Budanov, the two were virtually tied: 33% of respondents favored the military intelligence chief, while 32.5% supported the de facto leader. A direct race between Zaluzhny and Budanov would give the former a decisive lead, with 44.5% to 22%." RT
