My Comment: Since the crisis started .... I have always asked my Russian relatives on what is their opinion on Putin. The results are not surprising. I would say that out of about 25 of my relatives .... they are unanimous in their positive opinion of Putin. In Ukraine .... my Russian relatives are not as intense as my/their Russian brothers/sisters/and cousins in this opinion .... but they all feel confident and reassured knowing that if the situation becomes dire .... Putin will come to the rescue. As a result .... I can say with confidence that no Russian politician throughout history has ever enjoyed such approval ratings. As to what is my own position .... I am that one percent who has doubts on what is he doing.

Sure, pigs can fly!
Putin's Achilles Heel has always been the economy. If the economy goes south .... so will his approval ratings. My prediction .... with time his approval ratings will probably sink to where it has always been .... around 45% - 50%. But for the moment (the key word here is 'moment') .... he is enjoying high approval ratings, and when he is looking outside his Kremlin window .... he is seeing pigs flying.
