The Party of Regions got 28.1 percent, compared with 24.7 percent for opposition united under jailed ex-Premier Yulia Tymoshenko, according to an e-mailed survey by the Razumkov Center for Economic and Political Studies and the Democratic Initiatives Foundation in the capital, Kiev. The poll covers party-list voting for half of the legislature’s 450 seats, with the rest elected in single-mandate districts.
