Also, the Radical Party and the Ukrainian Strategy of Groysman have high chances of overcoming the 5% passing barrier, as 4.8% of the respondents who decided on their choice, would vote for them. For the Future party would take 4.3% of the votes, 3.8% of voters would vote for the Strength and Honor party, 3.5% - for the Holos party, 3.4% each - for the Shariy Party and Svoboda, 3.3% - for Vitali Klitschko's UDAR.
