Polls show strong support for Zelensky's reelection in Ukraine despite ongoing conflict

Recent polls indicate that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has a strong chance of reelection if elections were held. His approval rating has fluctuated but remains above 50%, despite a decline from his initial popularity. Zelensky was elected in 2019 and has been a key figure during the ongoing war with Russia. However, martial law, which prohibits elections, has been extended until May 2025, making a vote unlikely in the near future. While some reports suggest a significant drop in Zelensky's approval, recent data shows 57% of Ukrainians trust him. Experts note that elections cannot occur safely amid ongoing conflict, emphasizing the need for peace before any voting can take place.
