If Ukraine held parliamentary elections soon, a bloc led by former Armed Forces Commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi would likely take the lead with 37.7% of the vote, according to a Socis survey from Feb. 3-9, 2025, obtained by NV.

In a mock election for the Verkhovna Rada, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s bloc would garner 14.1%, followed by Petro Poroshenko’s European Solidarity bloc at 8.8%, the party of the Third Assault Brigade commander Andriy Biletskyi at 6.1%, Dmytro Razumkov’s Reasonable Policy bloc at 5.6%, and the party of spymaster Kyrylo Budanov at 5.3%.

Respondents were also asked to pick an alternative if their preferred choice didn’t run. Votes shifted as follows: Zaluzhnyi’s bloc at 19.3%, Budanov’s at 10.6%, Biletskyi’s at 7%, and Zelenskyy’s at 6.7%.

The Socis survey ran from February 3-9, 2025, using face-to-face interviews with tablets (CAPI). It polled 2,000 adults over 18 in government-controlled Ukrainian territories.
