YEREVAN. – Past newspaper of Armenia writes: According to a poll conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI) in the United States, 55% of Armenian citizens would vote for the ruling My Step alliance if elections were held in September-October 2019.

This figure is noteworthy in the context that in May, IRI had stated that 59% of respondents were ready to vote for the ruling alliance.

And if we take into account that My Step alliance received 70.42% of the votes during the December 2018 snap elections, then the picture becomes clear.

The ruling power’s ratings are declining with a clear trend over time. And if we take into account also the global problems—such as rising prices’ issue, the Amulsar gold mine operation issue, the topic of ratification of the Istanbul Convention—we will face next year, it can be assumed that after a short time, only crumbs may be left from the authorities' ratings.
