Only 98% of Russians will vote for Putin, according to opinion polls

Researchers in Russia have learned that Russians are becoming tired of the Limited Military Operation started over three years ago, are fed up with prices rising exponentially and are quite frankly frightened about the Ukrainian missiles destroying half the petrochemical sites in Russia.  They also are worried about the more than one million Russians who appear to have either died in combat or lost their limbs.

As a result, the polling for the 2026 elections are showing a serious downturn in support for President Putin, with expectations that the 99% support from 100% of the population likely to drop to an unprecedented 98%.  The results of next year's election are expected to be published next week, supporting these polls.

87% of Russians vote for Putin. 13% vote for life in Siberia

In a landslide victory, the majority of Russians voted not to be killed by nerve agent. Said one citizen: 'On the one hand I could have voted for a change of government, on the other hand, I prefer my hands attached at the wrist.

'Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of democracy, but I also like my kneecaps unbroken. I just wanted to vote for the pro-life candidate - my life, that is.'

Post-election the 13% were given time to consider the error of their ways and set their affairs in order. The Kremlin announced: 'Voting is important and opposition is vital. How else can know how many prison cells we need?'

Kremlin issues election guidance to Tories

‘Dear Western Imperialist scum. Sorry, force of habit.

Dear Rishi Sunak. Unlike me, you might struggle to get 87% of the votes in your own house.

Have you tried imprisoning and then killing Keir Starmer? It’s not like there would be a popular uprising on his behalf. Half of his own party would offer to stick the knife in themselves. You could portray it as red on red violence and have them all sent to a hideous, desolate penal colony, like the Isle of Wight.

Ed Davey can be the minor party candidate that means you’re not technically unopposed.

Why am I helping you? Well, having the UK floundering in chaos is helpful for Moscow, so we’re big fans of yours. Please continue laundering our money, especially my pension.

Kisses, Vlad.’
