So, if in September last year just over 51% of Ukrainians were dissatisfied with the situation, now their number has increased to 72%. At the same time, only 3% of respondents are satisfied with the pace of changes in the country, 32% believe that changes are not happening fast enough, and 40% are confident that the changes promised (on the Maidan and many times later) are not happening at all.
It is also interesting that 34% of Ukrainians expressed their unwillingness to endure economic difficulties, even if in the long run this would lead to an improvement in their quality of life. 5% of respondents are ready to accept rising prices and tariffs, while in September last year there were 17%.
60% of respondents noted that over the past year the economic situation in the country has worsened significantly. At the same time, only 13% said that they give preference to democracy over well-being. 34% believe that well-being is more likely to be more important than democracy, and 18% clearly voted for this.
The survey was conducted from July 16 to July 30, 2015 across the entire territory of Ukraine (without Crimea and Donbass). In total, 1,2 thousand residents aged 18 years and older were surveyed.
