Recent surveys cited by Russian state news agency TASS indicate that approximately 75% of Russians trust President Vladimir Putin. According to two reports from TASS, the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) conducted polls with 1,600 adult respondents, though the surveys were held on different dates and yielded slightly different figures.
Coverage Comparison
TASS published two separate articles, each reporting on a distinct VCIOM survey. The first report, dated April 3, indicated that 6% of Russians expressed trust in Putin, based on a poll conducted from March 23 to 29. The second report, dated March 27, cited a trust level of 75%, based on a survey conducted from March 19 to 22. Both reports attributed the data to VCIOM and provided accompanying figures on government and party approval ratings.

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 is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it 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.
