Incumbent Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would receive the greatest support if a presidential election were held in Ukraine in early June, according to a survey conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) between June 1-7.

In particular, 30.6% of Ukrainians who have decided on their choice are ready to back Zelensky. In second place is the former Ukrainian president, European Solidarity party leader Petro Poroshenko, for whom 17.4% of respondents are ready to vote.

Some 12.7% of those polled would cast their ballots for Batkivshchyna party leader Yulia Tymoshenko, 10.6% would support a co-chairman of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, Yuriy Boiko, and 8.1% would vote for Strength and Honor party leader Ihor Smeshko.

An all-Ukrainian public opinion poll was conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviews, based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers. Some 2,003 respondents aged 18 and over living in all government-controlled regions of Ukraine were interviewed.

The poll's margin of error does not exceed 2.4% for figures close to 50%, 2.1% for figures close to 25%, 1.5% for figures close to 10%, and 1.1% for figures close to 5%.
