KIEV, Oct. 14 - President Viktor Yanukovych is losing public support after seven months on the post, a trend that may turn out to be a problem for his Regions Party at local elections due on Oct. 31.

Some 60.1% of respondents supported all or some of Yanyukovych’s policies in October, down from 66.3% in April, according to poll released by the Razumkov Center, a Kiev-based independent think tank.
