June 30 (Reuters) – Russians are more pessimistic about the state of their economy than at any time in the past 20 years, and a majority say living standards are worsening, \u200bpolling organisation Gallup said in a survey published on Tuesday.<\/div>\n
Gallup said 60% \u200cof respondents in Russia said economic conditions in the city or area where they lived were getting worse, while only 27% thought they were improving and 9% believed they were remaining the same.<\/div>\n
When \u200basked about living standards, 56% said they were worsening, 29% said they were \u200bgetting better and 14% saw no change.<\/div>\n
The phone survey of 1,000 Russians, \u2060conducted between March 14 and May 6, reflects gloomy sentiment even before this month’s \u200bsharp worsening of the fuel supply situation. At a time of high seasonal demand, shortages of \u200bgasoline have broken out in many parts of the country after Ukraine intensified strikes on oil refineries.<\/div>\n
Confidence in the Russian military was down to 66%, Gallup found, from 80% in 2022, the year \u200bof Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and confidence in the government fell to 53% \u200bfrom 66% in the same period.<\/div>\n
Gallup also published the results of a survey conducted in Ukraine, which \u200cshowed \u2060that approval of “the job performance of the leadership of the United States” had sunk to 7%, with 79% disapproving.<\/div>\n
In the past two decades of Gallup polling across more than 140 countries, no other country has seen a larger drop in U.S. approval over any \u200bfive-year period, the organisation \u200bsaid.<\/div>\n
U.S. President Donald \u2060Trump, while sometimes criticising Russia’s Vladimir Putin, has also leaned on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept a peace deal on terms \u200bthat Kyiv considers unacceptable, telling him at the White House last \u200byear: “You don’t \u2060have the cards.”<\/div>\n
Gallup said 24% of respondents said Ukraine should keep fighting until victory, while 66% said it should seek to negotiate an end to the war as soon as \u2060possible – little \u200bchanged since a year ago, when the figures were \u200b24% and 69%, respectively.<\/div>\n
The survey of 1,000 Ukrainians, conducted in April, did not ask people what kind of \u200bnegotiated settlement they would be prepared to accept.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
