The number of residents of the Russian Federation with a “great mood” has more than halved in just two months – from 15% to 7%.
At the end of September against the background of the announced partial mobilizationpublic mood in Russia has sharply deteriorated. Tension, irritation, fear and longing have increased. But still, half of the respondents show confidence in the future, and two-thirds of the respondents feel like free people. This is indicated by the Levada-Center poll.
Currently, the number of those who speak of a “great mood” has decreased to 7% (from 15% in July), to 45% of those who speak of a “normal, even state” (from 65% in July). Instead, the number of those who talk about “tension and irritation” (from 17% to 32%) and about “fear and longing” (from 4% to 15%) has increased.
“Such a sharp, one-moment deterioration of moods did not occur during the entire period of observation. As a result, positive sentiments at the end of September only slightly prevailed over negative ones, a similar ratio was last observed in 2000”, – indicate the sociologists of “Levada Center”. of protest – Die Welt
Respondents aged 18-24 (63%), those who can afford durable goods (60%) and those who believe that things in the country are moving in the right direction (63%).
