Putin’s party cruising to crushing win in Russia vote
In Russia, the ruling party of President Vladimir Putin looks set to dominate a new parliament made up of Kremlin loyalists after a state exit poll gives it almost 45 percent in nationwide elections.
Russian state pollster VTsIOM puts Putin’s United Russia at 44.5%, ahead of the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party with 15.3%, the Communists with 14.9% and A Just Russia with 8.1%.
