On January 3, we asked our web-site visitors: "If
the presidential election were held today, whom would you
vote for?" And offered to vote for one of the presidential
candidates: Vladimir Zhirinovsky's LDPR Chairman, Gennady
Zyuganov, the Communist party (CPRF) leader, Dmitry Mezentsev,
Governor of the Irkutsk, Sergei Mironov, leader of the Just
Russia party, billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin and YABLOKO leader Grigory Yavlinsky. The poll
ended today.
The results were quite expected. Dmitry Mezentsev failed
to score even one per cent, also visitors of the Novaya Gazeta
web-site did not vest any hopes into the leaders of the parliamentary
opposition. The number of votes given in favour of Vladimir
Putin (whom the web-site visitors probably voted for asking
themselves "Who else?") is also small. Businessman
Mikhail Prokhorov has a somewhat higher percentage, and more
than half of all the votes by the readers of Novaya Gazeta
went to Grigory Yavlinsky. So there [seems to be] no second
round.
18,553 users participated in the poll in these three days.
Here come the figures:
Grigory Yavlinsky - 54%; 9,647 votes
Mikhail Prokhorov - 16%; 2,974 votes
Gennady Zyuganov - 12%; 2,351 votes
Vladimir Putin - 8%; 1,541 votes
Sergei Mironov - 7%; 1,301 votes
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, 3%; 585 votes
Dmitry Mezentsev <1%; 117 votes
