Various explanations have been offered for the commanding electoral support that has been enjoyed by the Belarusian president Alyaksandr Lukashenka since his original election in 1994. On the evidence of the authors’ surveys, in particular post-election opinion surveys conducted in 2006 and 2011, there is an association between social structural variables and electoral support, and between perceptions of government economic performance and electoral support, but both largely disappear when appropriate controls are introduced. It is personal approval of Lukashenka on the part of voters, over and above these other circumstances, that makes by far the largest contribution.

卢卡申卡和他的选民

各种解释已经提供了在2006年和2011年进行的，因为他在1994年原选举关于提交调查的证据已经享有的白俄罗斯总统亚历山大·卢卡申科指挥选民的支持，尤其是选后民意调查，有是社会结构变量与选举支持之间，政府对经济表现与选举支持的理解之间的联系，但是当采用适当的控制措施时，两者在很大程度上都会消失。除了这些其他情况之外，是卢卡申卡个人的个人认可，也是迄今为止最大的贡献。
