A survey conducted by the Center of Sociological Investigations and Marketing CBS-AXA shows that if early legislative elections took place this Sunday, 54% of the respondents would definitely go to vote. Compared to the previous polls, the number of the undecided voters is now higher – almost 30% of those polled do not know who they would vote for. If the undecided ones are omitted, the election results would be as follows: the Political Party “Our Party” (PPPN) and the Party of Socialists (PSRM) (by 22.8% of the vote), the European People’s Party of Moldova (PPEM) (9.9%), the Party of Communists (PCRM) (9.3%), the Liberal Party (PL) (7.3%), the Liberal Democratic Party (7.3%), the party that would be created by the Civic Platform “Dignity and Truth” (7%) and the Democratic Party (6.8%), IPN reports.

87% of those questioned said things in the country go wrong. This is a record high in the history of surveying. In August 2000, November 2011 and April 2013, this figure was over 80%, but not as high as now. More than 90% of the respondents are dissatisfied with the economic situation in the country. The people are also concerned about corruption.

Confidence in the state institutions continues to decline. Traditionally, the church remains the institution that enjoys the greatest trust. The local public administration takes the second place. The other institutions are mainly not trusted, with the main state institutions being trusted the least. Only 4% of those polled trust the President of Moldova, 5% - Parliament, while 6% - the Government. Justice and the political parties are also not trusted much.

The leader of the PPPN Renato Usatyi is the most trusted political personality. 8.8% of the respondents said they have confidence in him. The chairman of the PSRM Igor Dodon is trusted by 7.8% of those surveyed. He is followed by the leader of the PPEM Iurie Leanca, the leader of the PCRM Vladimir Voronin, the deputy head of the PL Dorin Chirtoaca, one of the leaders of the Platform “Dignity and Truth” Andrei Nastase, and ex-minister of education Maia Sandu.

92% of those questioned want the head of state to be elected directly by the people. In May, 7.3% of the respondents were ready to take part in protests, but now this figure stands at 38.6%. Over 80% of those polled support the people protesting in the Great National Assembly Square of Chisinau. 81% are for continuing the protests peacefully.

The survey was carried out on September 10-18 and covered a representative sample of 1,108 persons older than 18. The margin of sampling error does not exceed 2.9%.
