The Razumkov Center and the Democratic Initiatives Foundation polled 2,018 adults in government-controlled territories via personal interviews from August 14 to 19.

The theoretical margin of sampling error does not exceed 2.3%.

The poll was financed by the Royal Netherlands embassy’s MATRA project.
