Shifting fortunes:Tymoshenko moves into third place

A public opinion poll published by Research and Branding shows Yulia Tymoshenko sliding down to third place with Yanukovych remaining preferred President.  100 Days into the term of the new president Yanukovych remains in the lead with 45.5% support followed by Sergie Tipikpko on 13.0% and Tymoshenko with just over 10%. Ex-President Viktor Yushchenko does not even get a mention with all other possible contenders rating less the 5%.

Whilst a majority of Ukrainians are not happy with their life style or the state of the economy most Ukrainians generally support the new government on 45% approval and 40% disapprove, compared to the oppositions ratings of 12.6% approval to just over 70% disapproval.

The prime-minister Mykola Azarov has a 48.4% approval rating against Tymoshenko's 18.8%.

If Parliamentary elections were held this weekend Party of Regions would be elected to office with an absolute majority.
