On Friday, Russia's Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) released their latest numbers for Putin, and they show that his popularity is growing even more. Putin now holds an enormous 80-percent approval rating.

From June 17 to 19, FOM conducted a national survey with 1,500 respondents over the age of 18 from 53 Russian regions. The margin of error was less than 3.6 percent.

80 percent of respondents trusted Putin, 12 percent did not, and 8 percent were unsure, according to the poll.

In comparison to a similar poll conducted in June 2021, the figures were as follows: 57%, 32%, and 11%, respectively. These findings remained consistent until late February 2022, when Putin's confidence rating began to rise steadily.

The results also showed that 81 percent of respondents approved of the president's actions, while 8 percent disagreed and 11 percent were unsure. As a result, Putin's approval rating has increased by roughly a fifth (from 62 percent) since June 2021.

From June 13 to 19, Russia's Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) conducted a similar poll, interviewing 1,600 citizens over the age of 18. According to VTsIOM, Putin is currently trusted by 81.1 percent of Russian citizens, and his actions are supported by 78.7 percent of respondents. The poll's margin of error was less than one percent.
