Opinion polling for the Russian presidential election, 2018

This page lists public opinion polls in connection with the Russian presidential election, 2018.

Polls conducted before the nomination of candidates and the beginning of the presidential campaign.

On March 26, 2017, protests against alleged corruption in the federal Russian government took place simultaneously in many cities across the country. They were triggered by the lack of proper response from the Russian authorities to the published investigative film He Is Not Dimon To You by Alexei Navalny, which has garnered more than 20 million views on YouTube. The Levada Center survey showed that 38% of surveyed Russians supported protests and that 67 percent held Putin personally responsible for high-level corruption. A new wave of mass protests has been announced for June 12, 2017.

The Levada Center also conducted another survey, which was released on the April 6, 2017, showing Navalny's recognition among the Russian population at 55%. Out of those who recognized Navalny, 18% would either "definitely" or "probably" vote for him in the presidential election.
