Putin's Trust Rating Holds Steady at 74% in Latest Russian Polls
Recent polls by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) show that 74% of Russians trust President Vladimir Putin, with 76% approving of his performance. Separate surveys from April 10-12 and April 17-19 show slight variations in government approval and party support, with United Russia leading at 37-39%.
According to the latest polling data from the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), a Russian social research organization, 74% of Russians express trust in President Vladimir Putin. The same surveys indicate that 76% of respondents believe Putin is performing well in his role as head of state. These figures remained consistent across two separate polls conducted in April, reflecting a stable level of public confidence in the Russian leadership.
Coverage Comparison
The findings come from two distinct surveys carried out by FOM and reported by the Russian state news agency TASS. The first poll, conducted from April 10 to April 12, involved 1,500 respondents. The second survey, conducted from April 17 to April 19, also sampled 1,500 Russians. While the core figures regarding Putin's approval remained unchanged, the two polls reported slight variations in other metrics, such as approval of the government and support for political parties.
One notable discrepancy: the earlier poll indicated that 50% of respondents gave a positive assessment of the government’s work, whereas the later poll showed a slightly lower figure at 46%. Similarly, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin received a 55% approval rating in the first survey, but 54% in the second. These differences fall within typical polling margins of error and do not suggest a significant shift in public opinion over the course of the week.
When it comes to party support, the earlier poll placed United Russia at 37%, while the later survey recorded 39%. The Liberal Democratic Party saw support dip from 11% to 10%, and Just Russia For Truth rose from 2% to 4%. The Communist Party remained steady at 8%, and the New People party held at 6% in both polls.

How this outlet told it
A framing line is our reading of that outlet's own text — an interpretation, not a quotation and not a fact we assert. Check it against what the outlet published.
AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
