Putin's approval rating fell to 59% in April, down from 63% in the previous month, according to a poll carried out by the independent Levada Center in Russia,The poll was conducted by telephone rather than face to face, and the pollster said this "significant" change in the methodology could have contributed to Putin's lower rating. In January, his approval rating stood at 68%, and in February, at 69%.
Still, Levada's Deputy Director Denis Volkov told Reuters Wednesday that although the change in methodology could have shaved 1-2% off Putin's rating, even a rating of 61% would still mean Putin's approval rating was on par with a recent low recorded in 2013.
