Shalva Papuashvili: The credibility of the Edison Research poll is zero, as it is financed by Davit Kezerashvili - what the population wants, it can be seen in the elections
The credibility of the poll is zero and it is a part of lobbyism, - Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili said regarding the Edison Research poll.
As he mentioned, Georgian Dream also has internal polls, although Papuashvili says that the best indicator of their rating is the midterm elections.
"Reliability is zero when we talk about the organization and poll that is financed by Davit Kezerashvili, and only recently Kezerashvili signed a lobbying agreement, which has been disclosed. Unlike Georgia, where we could not pass a law, everything is transparent in America, and there it became known that there is lobbyism, the aim of which is not to research the moods, but to create them. This has happened earlier too, during the previous parliamentary elections. If you remember, "the population wants the opposition to win" - this is not serious. What the population wants, it can be seen in the elections. The elections two months ago showed us that Georgian Dream received more votes at the polling stations than in 2021. Even in the elections of low competition and low motivation, people found it necessary to go to polls to say that the policy of Georgian Dream was correct and they supported it. Georgian people showed that Georgian Dream has more support today, and if elections are held today, Georgian Dream will again gain a majority in the parliament," Papuashvili said.
According to According to the Edison Research poll, when asked which party they would vote for if parliamentary elections were held today, the majority of respondents named Georgian Dream, followed by National Movement. According to the party ranking, For Georgia party is in third place.
The survey results were distributed as follows: Georgian Dream - 37%; United National Movement - 25%; For Georgia - 6%; Labor Party - 5%; Lelo - 4%; Girchi - More Freedom (Zurab Japaridze) - 4%; For the People (Ana Dolidze) - 3%; Strategy Builder - 3%; Girchi (Iago Khvichia) - 3%; Droa - 2%; Alt Info - 2%; Citizens - 2%; People's Power - 2%; European Georgia - 1%; Alliance of Patriots - 1%.
