Hetmantsev-Kim-Terekhov-Vilkul 'party' ahead of Servant of the People in ratings – Socis poll

A projected political force associated with the Head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration Vitaliy Kim, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, Head of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee Danylo Hetmantsev, and Head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council Oleksandr Vilkul, ranks third in support ratings and outpaces the Servant of the People party, according to the results of a sociological study by the Socis company conducted March 12-18.

According to the poll data, 9.4% of respondents are ready to vote for the hypothetical "Kim-Terekhov-Hetmantsev-Vilkul party," while Servant of the People is supported by 7.9%. The rating leaders are political projects associated with the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom and former Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Valeriy Zaluzhny and the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov, supported by 14.5% and 10.6% of respondents, respectively.

In public trust ratings, Terekhov ranks fourth—following Zaluzhny, Budanov, and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The balance of trust for Terekhov, Zaluzhny, and Budanov is positive: more Ukrainians trust them than distrust them. High indicators are also demonstrated by Kim and boxer Oleksandr Usyk, whose trust levels are nearly identical.

In the presidential rating, Terekhov slightly ahead of Kim: his nationwide rating stands at 3.4% compared to 1.1% for Kim (or 4.4% versus 1.4% among those who have decided on their choice). In eastern Ukraine, Terekhov has 8.8% support, while Kim has 2.3% in the south.

A total of 1,204 respondents were interviewed for the study using a quota stratified sample across all government-controlled territories of Ukraine. The research method was face-to-face personal interviews using tablets (CAPI). The statistical margin of error (confidence interval) is ±2.5%.
