Former political scientist Poroshenko says debates will not save him
Based on pre-election sociology, the defeat of the President of Ukraine in the second round of the presidential election is already inevitable.
This opinion was expressed in a commentary to the Kyiv magazine “New Time” by Kiev political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, who previously served Petro Poroshenko.
“What is happening now is nothing more than a tactical struggle. Judging by the latest KIIS poll [where Zelensky is supported by 72% of respondents and Poroshenko by 25%], the debate will not have a fundamental impact on the opinion of half of the voters. The choice has been made. But debates are needed to create more real competition during the campaign. However, debates are beneficial for a candidate with a lower rating, but a candidate with a high rating does not need them,” Fesenko said.
