A survey conducted between February 18-28 asked residents which politician or public figure they believed was best suited to become the Prime Minister of Lithuania. The former Prime Minister, I. Šimonytė, topped the list with 15% support, marking an increase of 3.7 percentage points over the previous month. Following her, the current leader Inga Ruginienė saw a slight rise in her ratings from 4.7% to 5.9%, while Remigijus Žemaitaitis, leader of 'Nemuno aušra', experienced a small decrease from 5.8% to 5.7%. This shifting landscape can indicate changing public sentiments regarding political leadership in Lithuania.

The survey results reflect a challenging period for S. Skvernelis, as recent searches related to his political ties have seemingly affected his public perception. While 2.5% of respondents identified him as a suitable candidate for the Prime Minister role, the figures suggest an overall dissatisfaction or concern among the electorate regarding Skvernelis’ leadership. This decline in favorability could have significant implications for his political future and the direction of his party.

The findings also highlight the importance of public opinion in shaping political dynamics in Lithuania, especially as the nation anticipates future elections. The elevation of other candidates, such as I. Šimonytė and Inga Ruginienė, underscores a potential shift towards newer leadership. Political analysts might view these trends as indicative not only of Skvernelis' challenges but also of the evolving political landscape in Lithuania.
