So how come you get such a massive disparity between WCIOM trust in Putin (27%) and Levada approval rating (65%) and which one is true? 🤔

I think the reasons are twofold:

1) Levada is still an closed question - you have to answer yes or no, there's no "go away" answer and in the current political situation you need to be determined to say "no"

2) it's possible not to trust someone, and still approve of their decisions - for example, because there's no other choice
