Brief retelling from RIA II
60% of Russians saw party propaganda materials during the election campaigns for the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
The leader in recognition of campaign materials is the United Russia party - 46% of all respondents and 51% of electorally active citizens said that they had seen its materials.
Only 30% of Russians said that they had read the election programs of political parties; among the electorally active this figure is higher - 35%.
MOSCOW, September 14 - RIA Novosti. Six out of 10 Russians (60%) saw campaign materials of parties during their election campaigns in the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, said Mikhail Mamonov, director of political research at the analytical center (AC) VTsIOM.
On Monday, the international multimedia press center of the Rossiya Segodnya media group hosted a round table discussion at the Expert Institute for Social Research on the topic: “EDG 2026: the home stretch.” During his speech, Mamonov cited the results of a survey by the AC VTsIOM on the topic: “Chances of parties to win.”
"Two-thirds, 60% (of Russians - ed.), said that they had seen campaign materials of various parties. Among the electorally active - those who to varying degrees said that they would take part in the elections - this figure is higher than 65%. The leader in both lists is United Russia - 46% of all respondents and 51% of the electorally active told us that they have met and seen the materials of this party," he said Mamonov during the round table.
At the same time, according to the survey results, 24% of Russians saw propaganda, including booklets, posters, banners, commercials, of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, 21% - of New People, 20% - LDPR, and 16% - of A Just Russia. According to the director of political research, an extremely important element of the election campaign is the work of the Central Election Commission, the entire system of election commissions.
“What do we see here? Fifty-nine percent of Russians said that they had seen the CEC information materials... Thus, based on the analysis of these two questions, we can assume that two-thirds of Russians are characterized by a high degree of involvement in the already outgoing, ending election campaign,” Mamonov added.
In addition, the expert noted, respondents were also asked whether they had read the election programs of the parties participating in the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
“The indicator of awareness and involvement in this area is, of course, lower than that of information and propaganda work. Only 30% said that they had read the election programs of political parties... Among the electorally active, this figure is higher than 35%,” the expert emphasized.
At the same time, the survey results show that in this issue the leadership also remains with United Russia - 15% of Russians have become familiar with the party’s program. Another 13% of citizens read the program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, 11% - "New People", 7% - LDPR, 6% - "A Just Russia".
A telephone survey of the AC VTsIOM was conducted on September 12 among 1.6 thousand Russians over 18 years of age. The maximum sampling error with a probability of 95% does not exceed 2.5%.
