Scandal took toll on ‘Peasants’, Karbauskis’ ratings

“There has been an impact, when it comes to the party – its ratings dropped by 6 percentage points. The votes went somewhere, some of them to those undecided (their number went up by 7 percentage points), this is a rather significant monthly rise, about one percent went to the Social Democrats, a percent to the Liberal Movement,” Gaidys, CEO of Vilmorus pollster that conducted the poll published in the daily newspaper Lietuvos Rytas on Saturday, told BNS.

According to the survey, LPGU would secure 25 percent of the vote in elections, down from 31.5 percent a month ago.

In his words, the support to Karbauskis also fell by the analogous 6 percentage points, while the party’s other leader, Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, retained his popularity, while the other members of his Cabinet are becoming increasingly valued and known.
