Russia: Public pessimism rises ahead of Duma elections
Ahead of the Duma elections in Russia, public sentiment shows a significant rise in pessimism regarding the country's future. According to a survey by the Foundation for Public Opinion (FOM), pessimism concerning the prospects for the country and family life has reached unprecedented levels.
More than half of the population expects no improvement in the national situation over the next six to twelve months, while 23 percent anticipate conditions will worsen. Despite these economic and social concerns, other polling indicates that over 70 percent of the population continues to support Vladimir Putin.
Local reports highlight economic pressures, including rising prices and inflation that impact daily life for citizens, such as pensioners. Additionally, drone attacks on refineries have contributed to fuel price volatility and supply issues at gas stations.
