Now Yulia Tymoshenko's rating is higher than that of other potential presidential candidates because she started her election campaign too early.
The former head of the Odessa Regional Council, Mikhail Shmushkovich, stated this on the First City TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“From my subjective point of view, I expected a much stronger start. Maybe she was in a hurry, she gained a few percent over these few months, but I think it was a false start. What is happening with Yulia Vladimirovna reminds me of what happened with Vitali Klitschko at one time, when he was the first to start his election campaign during the Maidan, his rating began to soar, and then fell in the same way. Whether Yulia Vladimirovna succeeds or not, we will see within a year. It started, in my opinion, rather weakly compared to 2010,” he said.
Note that Mikhail Shmushkovich is former deputy and close friend People's Deputy from the BPP Alexey Goncharenko.
Let us recall that earlier “PolitNavigator” quoted the words of another Poroshenko supporter, Deputy Minister for “Temporarily Occupied Territories” Yuriy Grymchak, who stated that Tymoshenko at one time brought Yanukovych to power, and also added that has no plans to leave power and “knows how to shoot.”
