Ukraine's Independence Day has become one of the three most popular holidays in the country, according to a poll conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, UNN reports

Attitudes toward Ukraine's Independence Day have changed dramatically from 2013 to 2024. In 2013, this holiday was the most important or favorite for 12% of Ukrainians, and in 2024 - for 64%. In 2013, it was one of the least popular holidays (only Constitution Day was less popular), and now it is one of the 3 most popular holidays in Ukraine, second only to the two main religious holidays

- KIIS said in a statement. 

In addition, according to the poll, the vast majority of Ukrainians (at least 87%) support Ukraine's independence. Only 0.3% believe that Ukraine should unite with Russia.

Absolute support for independence was a fait accompli before 2014, but now this support has become even higher, KIIS said.

Survey methodology:

In analyzing attitudes toward Independence and the Independence Day of Ukraine, we used data from KIIS omnibus surveys  conducted from 2013 to 2024. The question about which holidays are most important or favorite depends on the date of the survey.  The closer to the holiday, the more often it is mentioned by respondents. Therefore, to study the dynamics, we usually asked about holidays at the same time each year (in February). Questions about attitudes toward Independence are less dependent on the season of data collection.

The surveys conducted before February 2020 were conducted by face-to-face interviews, and after that - by computer-assisted telephone interviews. In terms of geographic coverage, until February 2014, the surveys included all the territories of Ukraine, after February 2014, they did not include the temporarily occupied Crimea and certain territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. After February 2022, the surveys do not include the new temporarily occupied territories. The sample size of each survey is usually around 1000-2000 respondents.

Formally, under normal circumstances, the statistical error of such a sample (with a probability of 0.95 and taking into account the design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 2.9%.

In the case of a full-scale invasion, a certain systematic deviation may be added in addition to the above formal error, but not more than 5-6% percent.
