MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 27th November, 2020) A total of 59 percent of Russian citizens trust President Vladimir Putin, a fresh poll conducted by Moscow-based Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) showed on Friday.
This is consistent with the findings of a similar poll conducted by FOM earlier in November.

According to the polls, 59 percent of the respondents indicated that they trusted Putin, 30 percent did not and 11 percent were unsure.
The survey also demonstrated that 62 percent of the respondents were positive about the president's job performance, while 24 percent expressed the opposite opinion and 14 percent were unsure.
A poll conducted by Russia's Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) showed on Friday that Putin is currently trusted by 67.7 percent of Russian citizens.
Respondents were shown a list of politicians and asked to choose one they trust and one they do not trust, with 28.6 percent saying that they do not trust Putin.
Respondents were also asked about their approval of the politicians' work. Findings show that 61.6 percent of people approve of Putin's work, as opposed to 28.5 percent of those who disapprove of it.
