Polling by the Razumkov Centre in 2008 found that 63.8% of Crimeans (76% of Russians, 55% of Ukrainians, and 14% of Crimean Tatars, respectively) would like Crimea to secede from Ukraine and join Russia and 53.8% would like to preserve its current status, but with expanded powers and rights. Razumkov characterized Crimeans' views as controversial and unsteady, and therefore vulnerable to internal and external influences.[30] A poll by the International Republican Institute in May 2013 found that 53% wanted "Autonomy in Ukraine (as today)", 12% were for "Crimean Tatar autonomy within Ukraine", 2% for "Common oblast of Ukraine" and 23% voted for "Crimea should be separated and given to Russia".[31] A poll conducted by the Crimean Institute of Political and Social Research on March 8–10, 2014 found that 77% of respondents planned to vote for "reunification with Russia", and 97% assessed the current situation in Ukraine as negative.[32] A poll conducted by the GfK Group on March 12–14, 2014 with 600 respondents found that 70.6% of Crimeans intended to vote for joining Russia, 10.8% for restoring the 1992 constitution and 5.6% did not intend to take part in the referendum.[33][34] The poll also showed that if Crimeans had more choices, 53.8% of them would choose joining Russia, 5.2% restoration of 1992 constitution, 18.6% a fully independent Crimean state and 12.6% would choose to keep the previous status of Crimea.[33]TL; DR: En lång rad opinionsundersökningar har visat att Krimborna vill tillhöra Ryssland, siffror som av helt naturliga skäl ökade ytterligare efter statskuppen 2014. Det är undersökningar som utförts av FN, av oberoende organisationer, av ukrainska organisationer, av ryska organisationer, och av organisationer på Krim. Det är undersökningar som utförts före, efter och under statskuppen och både före och efter att ryssarna tog över Krim.
UNDP in Crimea conducted series of polls about possible referendum on joining Russia with a sample size of 1200:
Quarter Yes No Undecided
2009 Q3[35] 70% 14% 16%
2009 Q4[35] 67% 15% 18%
2010 Q1[36] 66% 14% 20%
2010 Q2[36] 65% 12% 23%
2010 Q3[36] 67% 11% 22%
2010 Q4[36] 66% 9% 25%
2011 Q4[37] 65.6% 14.2% 20.2%
Different polls conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea found a 36% support for unification of the entire Ukraine with Russia in 2013 and 41% on February 8–18, 2014 (just days before the ousting of Viktor Yanukovych).[38]
A post-referendum survey, commissioned by John O'Loughlin, College Professor of Distinction and Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and Gerard Toal (Gearóid Ó Tuathail), Professor of Government and International Affairs at Virginia Tech's National Capital Region campus, was conducted during December 2014 by the Levada-Center, and published in Open Democracy on March 3, 2015.[39] The survey showed "widespread support for Crimea's decision to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation one year ago."
While the authors of that survey felt and opined that Crimea's secession was "an illegal act under international law," they also acknowledged "It is also an act that enjoys the widespread support of the peninsula's inhabitants, with the important exception of its Crimean Tatar population." Despite the survey's distinction of Crimean Tatar support for accession to Russia being lower than the support from the rest of Crimea's population, the survey still found that significantly more Crimean Tatars either felt that Crimea's secession from Ukraine and accession to Russia was either the "Absolutely right decision," or the "Generally right decision," than the number of Crimean Tatars who felt that the 2014 referendum outcome was the "Wrong decision." Overall, the survey found that 84% of Crimeans felt that the choice to secede from Ukraine and accede to Russia was "Absolutely the right decision."
A third post-referendum survey, carried out by the Russia public opinion research center VCIOM in February 2015, found that 49% of Crimean Tatars would support the majority decision to leave Ukraine and join Russia if the referendum was to be repeated, while only a quarter of Crimean Tatars said they'd vote to remain in Ukraine.[40][41] VCIOM's poll also found support for the 2014 Crimean referendum outcome to be 97% in favour from Crimea's ethnic Russia population, 91% in favour from Crimea's ethnic Ukrainian population, and 92% in favour from all other populations of Crimea, for a total of 90% of Crimea's complete population being in favour of the 2014 Crimean referendum outcome to leave Ukraine and accede to Russia.
