RUSSIA'S TRUST IN PUTIN FALLS TO SIX-YEAR
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian public’s trust in President Vladimir Putin fell to its lowest in six years last month, the Levada opinion pollster said on Wednesday, despite the Russian leader’s approval rating remaining high.
Putin’s approval rating dropped sharply following an unpopular move to raise the pension age in 2018 and years of falling incomes, but it has stabilized in recent months and risen slightly to 68%, according to the pollster.
