In opinion poll results comparing current popularity of incumbent Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko with his two predecessors in the post, Leonid Kuchma and Leonid Kravchuk, Yushchenko trails in 3rd place, according to the results of the Omnibus national monthly poll conducted amongst 1,200 respondents in March 2009 by the TNS Ukraine company.
A mere 7% of respondents named Yushchenko as Ukraine’s best president.
Despite Yushchenko’s having been swept into power in 2004 by the people power of the Orange Revolution, directed against the previous president Leonid Kuchma and his circle, some 39% said they now consider Kuchma the country’s best leader to date.
Another 21% named Leonid Kravchuk, Ukraine’s first president 1991-1994 the best, despite the complete economic collapse Ukraine experienced during his presidency.
Over one fourth of respondents (27%) were undecided and 6% refused to be polled.
