I contend that it is impossible to do a real poll in rusisa due to the fear factor.
We saw there was actually a lot of opposition to putin where it was possible to show it .....even there very risky !

the people muring Navalny ....laying flowers , congregatng at little shrines ....and getting their names taken or in some cases getting arrested for it .

then there were the millions of signatures for the two diusallowed candidates for election ....far from ideal candidates bvut both running on a peace ticket .

these things tell a different , more honest and revealing story about the TRUE level of support ofr putin .
Of course that's INSIDE russia and many russ have simply voted with their feet .
