A poll conducted by Levada Center in late November revealed that two-thirds of Russian citizens would like to see Vladimir Putin or his personally proposed successor as president after the 2018 elections. Only 20 percent of Russians believe that the nation should choose someone with a different approach. 57 percent of respondents would prefer to see Putin reelected as president in 2018, while 48 percent of Russians said that currently no politician in the country could effectively replace Putin.
