The Independent
Institute for Socioeconomic and Political Studies announced that just 26.2
percent of respondents in a March-April poll said they would vote for
President Alyaksandr Lukashenko, marking a record low by the agency's
reckoning, Belapan reported on 21 April. Of the nearly 1,500 Belarusians
polled, 23.2 percent said Lukashenko rules the country well enough to be
re-elected, while 64.1 percent said his post should be taken over by
"someone else" and 12.7 percent were undecided. Only 17.1 percent of
respondents declared that they would approve constitutional changes that
could allow Lukashenko to run for another term, whereas 47 percent said
they would vote against such changes, and 27.5 percent were undecided. This article was originally featured in the Belarusian Review Vol. 15 (No. 2), but is no longer accessible on the website of said organization. It has accordingly been salvaged and again made available to the public by The Rational Argumentator.
