The level of public interest

60% of respondents read at least sometimes about politics in newspapers (a total of ‘often’ and ‘sometimes’ answers), whereas 11% do not. At least a half of respondents at least sometimes discuss politics with friends but 74% of those polled never persuade their friends to adopt the same opinion. Almost 80% of respondents get ‘hardly ever’ or ‘never’ involved in solving public problems.

Only about 13% of those polled at least sometimes attend political rallies or meet politicians and representatives of the public administration. 90% of people are not involved in any activities for political parties.
