The FINANCIAL — The Party of the Regions, the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, the Powerful Ukraine party, the Front for Change party, and the Communist Party would be elected into the parliament if parliamentary elections were held in the near future.
This is indicated by the results of a poll conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).
Asked which political party or bloc they would vote for if parliamentary election were held the following Sunday,
36.4% of the respondents in the poll said they would vote for the Party of the Regions (led by President Viktor Yanukovych), 13.6% said they would vote for the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc (Yulia Tymoshenko), 6.7% for the Powerful Ukraine party (Serhii Tihipko), 4.3% for the Front for Change party (Arsenii Yatseniuk), and 3.1% for the Communist Party (Petro Symonenko).
According to the results of the poll, the following political forces would fail to overcome the barrier to entry into the parliament if parliamentary elections were held in the near future: Anatolii Hrytsenko's Civil Initiative (it would win 1.6% of the votes if founded), the Oleh Tiahnybok's Svoboda party (1.6%), Viktor Yuschenko's Our Ukraine party (1.4%), the Volodymyr Lytvyn Bloc (1.3%), the Vitalii Klychko Bloc (1%), Viktor Baloha's Yedynyi Tsentr party (0.2%), and Oleksandr Moroz's Socialist Party (0.2%).
