The most positive assessments were given by Russians to Sergey Lavrov as a minister among the old members of the government, and Vladimir Kolokoltsev as one of the new members of the government.
MOSCOW, June 5, 2012. Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) presents the data describing how Russians assess the new structure of the Russian government.
New members of the government are poorly known for Russians: most of respondents fail to give assessment to their appointments. Least known new ministers are M.Abyzov (81% do not know anything about him), O.Govorun and V.Ishaev (80%, each).
The most successful debutant is V.Kolokoltsev who is approved by 23% of respondents, followed by V.Skvotrsov and V.Puchkov (20%, each). They are followed by A.Dvorkovich (19%), M.Sokolov, N.Fedorov, A.Siluanov (18%, each), N.Nikiphorov, A.Novak, V.Surkov (17%, each), S.Donskoy (16%), V.Ishaev, O.Golodets, D.Manturov, A.Belousov, M.Topilin, О. Govorun (15%, each) and M. Abyzov (14%).
At the same time, those ministers who have hold office in the government have more positive assessments. S.Lavrov is the most popular among them (51% assess his appointment positively); he is followed by D.Rogozin (34%), A.Serdyukov (28%), I.Shuvalov, D.Kozak, A.Khloponin (26%, each), and V.Mutko (25%).
The initiative Russian opinion polls were conducted May 26-27, 2012. 1600 respondents were interviewed at 138 sampling points in 46 regions of Russia. The margin of error does not exceed 3.4%.
