Zaluzhnyi and Budanov outperform Zelenskyy in the second round — survey

Zelenskyy could be overtaken in the second round by both the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhnyi, and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Budanov, if presidential elections were held in the near future, according to data from the "First Rating System" survey.

Zaluzhnyi has a 16% advantage over the current president - 42.6% against 26.3%.

Budanov, on the other hand, is ahead of Zelenskyy by half a percentage point - 33% against 32.5%.

If Zelenskyy did not make it to the second round and Budanov and Zaluzhnyi competed there, 44.5% would vote for the former Commander-in-Chief, while 22% would vote for Budanov.

At the same time, in all three scenarios, a significant portion of voters remain undecided.
