Armenians lose trust in Sargsyan - SURVEY 

Most of the respondents of the survey conducted by MPG LLC want to see incumbent Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan in the post of the Prime Minister among the possible candidates of the Republican Party after April 9, 2018, the Armenian media reports. 

During the meeting with reporters on April 5, Director of Gallup International Association Office in Armenia, Aram Navasardyan said the following question was addressed to the survey participants: “According to the New Constitution, PM’s role has greater importance: taking into account this whom among the possible candidates of the Republican Party would you like to see in the post of the Prime Minister after April 9, 2018?”

According to the survey, 22,8 percent of Armenians stated their intention to vote for the ruling Republican party (RPA), 4,3 percent – for “Exit” bloc, 3,9 percent – for ARF-Dashnaktsutyun, 3,4 percent – Free Democrats, 2,7 percent – “Armenian Renaissance”, 2,6 – ANC-HZhK, while 1 percent of the respondents stated desire to give their vote to the Communist Party.

According to the results, 26,4 % of the respondents said they would vote for “Tsarukyan” bloc when asked which political party of bloc they would you vote for if the parliamentary elections were held on forthcoming Sunday.

Speaking of the reason beyond the high approval rating of “Tsarukyan” bloc, Navasardyan said. “In our previous opinion poll conducted in November, there was a slight difference between the two dominant forces in Armenian provinces where respondents were mainly inclined to vote for “Tsarukyan” bloc, while the Republican party had a higher rating in capital Yerevan. The data are not that unexpected since the difference is only three percent which may change depending on the course of the election campaign,” Navasardyan said, declining to predict which direction the trend might go.

In addition, the majority of respondents (70.9%) said, they did not trust the authorities.
