According to Russian Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) data, the rating of the "United Russia" party has decreased by 8.5 percentage points over the year (from 43.7% to 35.2%).
At the same time, other political forces showed growth: the "LDPR" took second place, improving its rating by 2 percentage points (from 8.7% to 10.7%), while the "Communist Party of the Russian Federation" (CPRF) saw its rating rise to 9.7% (+2%).
The "New People" and "Fair Russia – For Truth" parties also showed positive dynamics, increasing their scores to 6.5% and 4.2%, respectively.
The decline in the rating of United Russia" reflects growing public dissatisfaction with economic problems in Russia.
Meanwhile, the rise in support for other parties (LDPR, CPRF, and New People) indicates a stronger demand within Russian society for alternative political forces capable of offering new solutions. However, the change in the ruling party's rating in Russia does not significantly affect Putin's "monopoly on power."
