Communists still ahead of pro-presidential parties in poll
MOSCOW. Nov 29 (Interfax) - If parliamentary elections were held in Russia next Sunday, Gennady Zyuganov's Communist Party would win 32% of the votes, more than any other single party.
It is true that support for the communists is tending to dwindle: their share was as large as 39% in April, and 35% in September.
On the other hand, the electorate of other parties is stable, as suggested by a poll of 1,600 Russians held by the All-Russian Public Opinion Center on
November 23-28, and polls held earlier in the year.
The report on the poll only represents the responses of those who would go to the polling stations and are certain of their choice.
Sergei Shoigu's Unity and Yuri Luzhkov's Fatherland parties would have 28% between them; Boris Nemtsov's Union of Right Forces, 8%; Grigory Yavlinsky's
Yabloko and Vladimir Zhirinovsky's LDPR, 7% each.
Five percent would vote against all parties.
