The Presidential Elections 2008 - more predictible?

Sunday January 27 & the day expected all over the world. The political race in Russia is running its last week before finalizing the list of candidates. Despite of being a native country of communism, the Election 2008, scheduled to be held on March 2 may bring to Russia a one side looking contest. The present candidates Andrey Bogdanov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Gennady Zyuganov, Mikhail Kasyanov and Dmitry Medvedev - do all of them stand a chance to be on the list? According to the opinion polls published on Tuesday by pollster VTSIOM, Dmitry Medvedev , a 42 years old Kremlin-backed candidate supported by incumbent president Vladimir Putin had more than 60 percent support, while Gennagy Zyuganov, the head of Communist party had only 6.1 percent. Zuyganov , whose campaign called for re-nationalisation of natural resources and the re-instalment of the death, has repeatedly complained about a pro-Kremlin slant in coverage on the main television stations. As Viadomosti newspapers claimed, he was seriously thinking of giving up the race. His weak appearances in this elections, may later leave him ambiguous and vulnerable to maintain a position of a head of Communistic party. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, nationalist Deputy Speaker of the State Duma and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia had a support of 7.5 percent in the last poll. Ex-prime minister Mikhail Kasayanov's rates points to the only one percent as well as the fifth candidate, the leader of the Democratic Party of Russia, Andrei Bogdanov.
