Experts from the Kiev International Institute of Sociology conducted a survey and found out who the Ukrainian people supported in the second round of the presidential election.
"Of those who are ready to vote and decide on their choice, 72.2% will vote for Vladimir Zelensky; 25.4% for President Petro Poroshenko; 2.4% choose to cancel their vote," - according to information on the Institute's website.
The study also found that 57.2% of Ukrainians believe that Mr. Zelensky will win the second round of elections. Only 14.1% of respondents believe that Mr. Poroshenko will win. The remaining 28.7% did not specify or refused to answer the question.

Last week, the “Rating” group published its survey results - according to forecasts, Mr. Zelensky won 61% of the votes in the second round, and Mr. Poroshenko - 24%.
The second round of presidential elections in Ukraine will be held on April 21.
