CBOS Analysis
“In February, social mood deteriorated quite noticeably in various areas. The percentage of negative assessments of the general, political, and economic situation in the country increased, as did pessimistic predictions regarding these three areas. Assessments of the situation of one’s own family and forecasts of its change in the future also deteriorated. Only assessments of the material conditions of the respondents’ households remained stable, with a slight increase in optimistic predictions in this matter,” CBOS summarizes in its analysis.
