According to the survey findings by the Armenian Representation of the Gallup International Association, the five favorite political forces are: RPA (29.4%), the “Tsarukyan” Alliance (28.2%), the “Yelk” (6.1%), the ARF (4.8%), the “Free Democrats” (4.4%). During the meeting with the reporters at the “Zarkerak” press club, the Gallup International Association’s Armenia Office Director Aram Navasardyan informed that 1145 one-on-one surveys were conducted on March 12-17 in Yerevan and in the marzes of Armenia, with the survey sampling error of 3%. Referring to the question about the client of the survey, Mr. Navasardyan said, “Since 2008, we are conducting syndicated surveys, in other words, we are conducting the survey with our own efforts and means.” Commenting on the list of favorites, Mr. Navasardyan noted, “The top list essentially has not been changed, RPA is a little ahead of the “Tsarukyan” Alliance although, by the results of the previous survey, they were very close. Here, Karen Karapetyan’s participation in the campaign has also affected the indicators of RPA.” The findings of the survey about RA Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan’s rating show that 81% of the respondents estimated Mr. Karapetyan’s activities positive, while 59.4% of the respondents estimated the government’s activities positive.
To the question of whether you would like to see RA Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan in the post of the prime minister after the parliamentary elections on April 2, the 82.8% of the respondents gave a positive answer. The 61.7% of the population is positive about the fact that Karen Karapetyan participates in the RPA campaign. Although the 73.7% of the respondents have met at the campaign of the “Tsarukyan” Alliance, but the participation rate is higher with the RPA campaigns (56.7%), the “Tsarukyan” alliance (46.0%). The index of the EaEU membership has declined. According to the findings of the survey, now 36.4 percent of the population stands for the EaEU membership instead of the previous 50-60%, while the number of those who wish to join the EU has increased, 27.2 percent.
