Didn't want to but became a stone around their neck? Reactions from S. Skvernelis' led democrats after the latest ratings

Despite poor ratings, the party 'Vardan Lietuvos' does not view the situation as critical and Democratic mayors downplay recent survey results, expressing skepticism about their impact on the upcoming elections.

Recent polling results published by the news portal Delfi show a decline in support for the political group led by S. Skvernelis. Despite this concerning trend, party officials, including vice-chair Lukas Savickas, assert that poll numbers do not necessarily dictate election outcomes. They remain optimistic, suggesting that the months leading up to local elections could shift public sentiment in their favor.

Democratic mayors have also expressed their lack of concern over the decline in ratings, implying that there is still ample time for voters to change their minds. With a year until the local elections, they believe that voters' current sentiments are likely to evolve, and recent polling may not be a reliable predictor of future electoral success. This reflects a certain level of complacency within the party despite external pressures and the approaching election cycle.

The background of this situation is further complicated by ongoing legal issues surrounding some party members, including investigations into connections between Skvernelis and other political figures. The scrutiny from law enforcement might influence public perception and voter behavior, but party leaders continue to remain steadfast in their optimism about the upcoming elections.
