Russian President
Vladimir Putin coasted to reelection on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
A Russian state exit
poll gave Putin nearly 74 percent of the vote, well ahead of his closest competitor,
according to Reuters. With Sunday’s result, the 65-year-old
Putin will earn his fourth term as president.
Putin observed the
two-term limit in 2008, shifting into the prime minister's seat and allowing
longtime puppet Dmitry Medvedev to serve as a placeholder for four years. Unhappy
with Medvedev's performance, Putin reclaimed the presidency in 2012.
Putin wins with 74%. But we’re hungry for more. Was there a gender gap? How did white blue collars vote? And so many other demographics.— Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) March 18, 2018
I heard he won because he didn’t ignore Wisconsin and Pennsylvania— Sgt🌹Progressive🇺🇸 (@sgtjohnthompson) March 18, 2018
