Putin Losing Support?

MOSCOW – Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party struggled to hang onto its majority in Russia's parliamentary election

Despite the sobering setback, he was still expected to have little trouble reclaiming the position he held from 2000 to 2008.

Is Vladimir Putin's popularity waning from previous staunch supporters. Do you think this will effect elections? Is Putin good for Russia? Is he still relative?

Putting a positive spin on the disappointing returns, Putin said "we can ensure the stable development of the country with this result." But he appeared glum when speaking to supporters at United Russia headquarters and limited his remarks to a terse statement.

Seems like the communist are staring to gain traction, not sure which party is worse to be honest.

It will be interesting to watch it all unfold. I think you're right. Not sure where the country or region is headed but it should be interesting!
