Ukraine voters blamed for low support for Yushchenko
According to Volodymyr Tsybulko, opinion polls showing Pres Yushchenko’s meager approval rating are merely evidence that Ukrainian voters are still focused on tactical developments in VR and do not think in strategic terms. “If Viktor Yushchenko is supported by 3% of Ukrainians, does it mean that only 3% of voters support the Ukrainian as a state language, the entry of Ukraine in NATO and the EU, the policy of rehabilitation of the Ukrainian nation advocated by Pres. Yushchenko?” questions the political expert widely believed to be linked to the presidential administration.The union with the Party of Regions is a shot in the arm for BYUT, as BYUT popularity is rapidly dwindling due to the cabinet’s sloppy economic policy, Tsybulko opines. Regarding the Yedyny Tsentr party, its increasing popularity reveals a pragmatic, disciplined and well-organized political force able of pushing ahead its moderate pragmatism agenda, V. Tsybulko added.

With Opinion Polls showing Yushchenko at less then 3% support there is no way he will be reelected to a second term of office.
Yushenko's actions and attempts to destabilise Ukraine's Parliamnetary gpvernemnet has taken it toll on Ukraine's economy and set back Ukraine's integration and democrtopc development 15 years.
His recent attempts tp c;ing on to power for an extra 3 moths and force Ukraine to hold Presidential elections in the middle of Ukraine's bitter cold winter is further example of his lack of care and concern for Ukraine.
The last think Ukraine can afford is a prolonged Presidential election and the ongoing uncertainty and bitter infighting.
If Yushchenko cared for Ukraine and valued the democratic right of citizens to participate in free elections then he would offer his resignation in order to pave the way for an early Autumn election.
